origins of grown jacket?


I have just come across this piece in the excellent book: Fashioning the Future. This jacket miniarture has been grown in a lab like the work of Suzanne Lee. This work however was done for those veggie's with a conscience who do not feel happy wearing leather. This piece (an intended art piece) called Victimless Leather, 2004 was developed by bio artists Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr - based at SymbioticA. The project was established in Australia as Tissue Culture & Art Project.
