PSA: it’s not a dire wolf. It’s a “designer” species.

The fact that you’re still thinking about P*ss Christ after all these years shows that it changed your views, making it a successful work of art.

You have never heard of him therefore you don’t understand how he changed experimental music?

That sounds like a lack of knowledge on your part (you didn’t even spell his name correctly despite it being in the article several times) rather than anything on Mr Lucier’s behalf.

Some good places to dispel your ignorance:

His most noted piece: “I Am Sitting In A Room”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAxHlLK3Oyk

yeah, Alvin looks as happy as Viginia’s head in a basting pan.

tttt, i love that movie. especially when the ‘guest’ in the closet rips the mad scientists arm off. classic creature feature fare.

Bugger. Would’ve liked to watch those. You’re probably right, had a quick glance at other articles about this installation, and the comments sections were pretty negative.

Apparently the exhibit’s in until August, hope it stays until its scheduled end.

No word on what they’ll do with his cells & the installation afterwards. That makes me feel weird & conflicted.

That dire wolf is totally alone, brought to life in a world that is not the one its forebears could not exist in.

This will be the first time a species goes extinct twice.

Science can do anything! WE ARE THE GODS NOW

“Dr. Plastic” was at least educational ^^
this is just random junk with a sticky name on it

thats a lot of hocus pocus
you see this has noting to do with with the brain of Mr. Lucier, as brains make neuronal connections as part of a learning process …

if you connect the fly on the wall to some sensor system you will get similar results ^^

Granted the musical outcome probably isn’t thrilling, but Lucier was always more concerned with the artistic concept anyway. Don’t understand the hate

“Lucier donated his blood for the project”

Sounds like he might have been happy with all this

I see the YouTube video has since been set to private, seems like a there must have been a lot of pushback.

I am concerned with involuntary donation of personal identity, like faces on action figures and theft of musical themes and personality. On the other hand, some people consider modulating voltages through plant chemistry to be music. Other have played hot dogs at high voltage or as keyboards, universally without consulting the animal donors. Then again, nobody asked the cats about the violin strings. This is not to say that the resulting sounds can universally be agreed upon as music. I have yet to hear any. If anyone tries to play Mozart’s DNA or shreds of Mendelssohn and claim it is music, I am out of here.
