YES ! Someone who agrees with me at long last :-) I have always said that art is whatever the artist feels is art - art is in the eye of the artist if you like. I think some of my code (software) is perfectly artistic - someone else thinks it's a pile of gobbeldegook (very technical word that), but it's still art because I say it's art.

Personally i don't find anythign 'sick' about it, its facinating.

I agree, what is under our skin is something that not many people get to see, why shouldn't we have a look.

The church still seems to think they have a monopoly on death, fuck em, its good stuff, and definately of educational and artisic value.

Here in New Zealand, our "national museum" - Te Papa (Maori for "Our Place") once exhibited an artistic work of a statue of the "Virgin Mary" inside of a condom http://www.google.com/search?q=virgi...nside+a+condom gives some articles (highlighting sections of the church (catholics ??) stance on contraception, abortion, that kind of tihng) - you should have seen the church react ! I like your sentiment - fuck em, it's an artistic work it has a right to be there.
