<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">As part of the DeCordova Art Museum's Annual Exhibition, one artist, Kelly
<BR>Heaton is displaying art she's created from Furbies. There are ironical
<BR>faux
<BR>anatomy drawings that diagram the electromechanical innards. Various
<BR>pieces
<BR>using Furby mechanisms--one is a wall of 400 "faces" (just the mechanical
<BR>eyes and mouth) each activated by a infrared/photocell array.
<BR>
<BR>The one semi-on topic piece is a display on painless surgery that includes
<BR>a
<BR>conical soldering tip and desoldering braid.
<BR>
<BR>Don't know of any websites on this; the museum is in Lincoln MA, outside of
<BR>Boston.</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BR>Very cool...I'll have to go see that, it's about 4 miles from my house. I've
<BR>actually been contemplating a similar project, namely modifying a big mouth
<BR>billy-bass. I haven't figured out how to make it flap its head an tail back
<BR>and forth to the beat of a different music, but when I'm done with it it's
<BR>going to be black, have lots of piercings, and probably play "stainless steel
<BR>providers" by the Revolting Cocks.
