My arts editor said, “But the skins themselves do have an artistic element, even if they ARE covered in poop.” OK. I like 3D printers. But I’m not sure if this is art, only art, art with practical usage, or just another person who does odd things and calls it art.

Today, Stratasys announced that Oxman has achieved her goal and unveiled her latest creation Mushtari on the stage of TED2015 in Vancouver. The pieces are created not only to allow for living organisms to inhabit them, but also to intentionally manipulate the functions of those organisms. Don’t worry, this isn’t the herald of some dystopian state in which human beings are called ‘organisms’ and enslaved by 3D printed suits. Instead, the occupants are microorganisms such as cyanobacteria and E. coli.
