Who is the better artist? They're both considered to be two of the most eccentric people on the face of the planet (IE they are total nutjobs) But who is the better artist. And by better artist, I mean which one freaks the fuck outta ya more? HR Giger (He designed the creature(s) in the Alien movies)     Patricia (her work just weirds me out)       there. Now who wins? |

The first one. His had more of a range. The second's were basically all the same.

Agreed with Nicole. The second set of artworks were all too similar...and freaky.

Although if it's a matter of freakiness, I would definitely have to go with Patricia as the better artist.

Giger has more of a message than Patricia. He doesn't just whine about women's oppressive role in society and it's history. Yeah, I can analyze art.

Well you're bad at it:
According to the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia: "Piccinini has an ambivalent attitude towards technology and she uses her artistic practice as a forum for discussion about how technology impacts upon life. She is keenly interested in how contemporary ideas of nature, the natural and the artificial are changing our society. Specific works have addressed concerns about biotechnology, such as gene therapy and ongoing research to map the human genome... she is also fascinated by the mechanisms of consumer culture."
and her work is about Bioethics.
"All my work is concerned with the definition of how what we consider artificial and natural is changing – the role that technology plays in our contemporary imagination."
"The concept is what human-animal hybrids might look and feature provocative creatures which are part of a sculpture entitled "The Young Family".
The work also addresses the reality of such possible parahumans in a compassionate way. Transhumanists would call for the recognition of self-aware parahumans as persons."
Fucking furries the lot of 'em.

HR Giger, definitly.
Patricia's work reminds me of the sort fo thing I would read about in Man After Man, or Last and First Man.

It looks like a manatee.

I think there are manatee-humans in one of the previously mentioned books.
