In this project we have grown Mesenchymal cells (bone marrow stem cells) from pig, over into bioabsorbable polymers (PGA, PLGA, P4HB) in the shape of 3 sets of wings. The three sets of wings represent the three evolutionary solutions to flight in vertebrates and their respective attached cultural value:

Bird/Angelic
Bat/Evil
Pterosaurs, which is 'free' of cultural value as it is extinct.

hetoric associated with the developments in new biological technologies. This hype made us wonder if pigs could fly, and if they will, what shape their wings would take? By that we refer to the utopian and dystopian views in regard to a future immersed with new biological technologies and the responsibility lies on our society in shaping such a future. The Pig Wings project is part of the Tissue Culture & Art Project , which is an ongoing research and development project into the use of tissue technologies as a medium for artistic expression.

We are referring to the rhetoric associated with the developments in new biological technologies.
