Vatican Official Denounces Santa Muerte As 'Sinister And Infernal':

Vatican Official Denounces Santa Muerte as ‘Sinister and Infernal’

New fascinating article. “The Mexican offensive against Santa Muerte (Saint Death) launched by former president, Felipe Calderon, has now gone global.”

The confluence of theological concerns, religious competition, new Latin American influence at the Vatican and media coverage have resulted in Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi’s condemnation of the cult of Santa Muerte as the embodiment of Latin America’s “culture of death.”

The barn owl enclosure is now in the crawl space.:

Two antique foot lockers, one labelled earthquake preparedness kit, the second a zombie preparedness kit. In the hallway, a clawfoot bath tub filled with 273 feet of fiberglass fluff, in rolls. The barn owl enclosure is now in the crawl space. I’ve lost track of the cow heartstrings in ethanol….

A number of life-support machines are connected to each other, circulating liquids and air in attempt to mimic a biological structure.

The Immortal investigates human dependence on electronics, the desire to make machines replicate organisms and our perception of anatomy as reflected by biomedical engineering.

The interpretation of anatomy with a mechanical vocabulary reflects strongly on the Western perception of the body.
Defining the body as a machine – where dysfunctional parts can be replaced by mechanics – speaks of how we understand life.

These objects encompass social debates about the ethics of euthanasia, the quantification of both the value and quality of life, making physical a poetic desire to conquer our own mortality.
The medical machine – whether in use or not – is an object which transcends its materiality. Designed and created to perform a single, most meaningful function, we never subject these devices to a critical investigation as industrial products within the context of material culture.

This work aims to explore the nature of these devices as objects of our times, liberated from their restrained purpose while still charged with its resonance.
