Beautiful Hybreeds




Carl Stevenson, a video and multimedia artist, has created this completely hypnotic biotechnology pastiche called 'Contamination'. It's vaguely remeniscent of Un Chien Andalou's surrealism. Some consider it completely disturbing, and I imagine that the title of the piece reveals that to be the artist's intention. Personally, I find it hypnotic and vaguely lovely. Here's a little about it, from the site:

"Mélange de 2D et de 3D, le film révèle comme
un présage effrayant des créatures hybrides : chats à tête
de pigeon, pigeons à tête d’humain, et humains ailés...
Outre sa qualité graphique, Contamination est aussi
remarquable pour sa bande son."

"A mix of 2D and 3D, the film is like a frightening prediction of hybrid creatures: cats with pigeon heads, pigeons with human heads, winged humans...
Aside from its graphic quality, Contamination is also remarkable for its soundtrack".
