The Beating Heart Fountain

By Ali S. in Art, Science & Tech, Video Clips on May 4, 2008 at 10:15 pm

Here’s something you don’t see everyday…a blood spewing fountain! Now I’m no artist (or should I be saying it like this: arteest?) but I would love to see this in real life on a gigantic scale.

Not entirely anatomically correct (nor real) this heart fountain spews, shoots, and jets “blood” all over the box it is contained in much to the amazement of the spectators. Created by artist Billy Chasen this fountain was displayed at the American Heart Association (AHA) 2008 “Heart of New York Gala”, which took place at Waldorf Astoria in NY City.

    Shouldn’t they be playing “I left my hart in San Francisco?” in the background instead of the jazz?

    “Much to the amazement”? They must amaze easy in New York.

    And now we remember those bottles of red food coloring and Evian that gave their lives to be part of a shitty dinner-party center-piece.

    A moment of silence, please.
