As part of the DeCordova Art Museum's Annual Exhibition, one artist, Kelly 
Heaton is displaying art she's created from Furbies.  There are ironical faux 
anatomy drawings that diagram the electromechanical innards.  Various pieces 
using Furby mechanisms--one is a wall of 400 "faces" (just the mechanical 
eyes and mouth) each activated by a infrared/photocell array.

The one semi-on topic piece is a display on painless surgery that includes a 
conical soldering tip and desoldering braid.

Don't know of any websites on this; the museum is in Lincoln MA, outside of 
Boston.

Back to lurking,
Kevin Seward
