internet/cryonic/ebay project


This web project was designed as a virtual performance with the Manifest Infinity Life Extension Foundation, whom I design cryonic suspension devices for with the Meme-Rider Media Team. The idea is that to pay for upkeep on suspension, cryopatients sign a waiver to let the MILE Foundation continuously sell their souls as works of art on ebay. One of the Meme-Riders, Isaac Boatright, came up with ingenius way of selling souls, by using the Banach-Tarski Paradox as a poetic device. It is a way to infinitely reproduce souls using rigid poetic motions of dissection and re-assemby. The small jar filled with red ectoplasm and soul catcher is the 'Soul of a Cryopatient', they usually sell for around $15.00 American.
