nullmouse Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I'm a scientist! I work in biological sciences! Bone research, currently. They don't call me Evil Dr. Al for nothing. Actually, only Rob Karloff calls me that but... y'know, that counts?On a more serious note, one of our senior lecturers in the Bone Group has always been interested in art and science colliding in a mash-up. I'm interested too. We should speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biz Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hmm that gives me an ideaComing from a scientific and artistic background I'm pretty sure I could use my skills to good use in such an art project.Coincidentally, bones are my specialist subject, although I am well versed in applied biosciences and chemistry. Therefor... I propose that I get out my bone and jizz a ower a T shirt .With a good aim I'm sure it could be made to look like a strand of DNA or something.Hang it on a wall. Call a spade an earth inverting horticultular tool on the bit of card next to the "Artwork ", and nae doot The Turner folk and Bill Drummond will be knocking on the door or nailing hard cah to it.Got any interesting photos of Obedience night to speed along the proceedings?.

Biz Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Oh yes, I dae foul tae.If anything involves putting hard cash in my pocket for interesting work, I will even speak with a West Country or Polish accent, although I do have a penchant for speaking like a toff when I'm more " relaxed " than the norm .I am serious about this project.I would like my piece to be named " the juxtaposition of Jizz on a T shirt in a cauld boring place that should be fun, but ye feel like a criminal wi a the security and their annoying walki talkies and piggy eyed stares, but at least there's always Markies escelator or the pub and inane banter to keep ye warm", the noo .
