safety gear for small animals

Bill Burns is a guy who colours outside the lines, if his exhibition, taking place in the Vancouver suburb of Coquitlam, is any indication. Reading this article, I enjoyed his unique approach to conceptual art, but when I read the following line about his teeny-tiny safety gear on display, I knew there were many more layers to this than meets the eye:

"One of our proudest achievements is our prosthetics program,” Burns says. “In the wild, good looks are important. Missing claws or teeth can undermine an animal’s reproductive capacity."

Apparently his girlfriend is worried that he's going to end up in a prison camp in Cuba every time he crosses the Canada/US border.

And in the world of the world of computer art, Rudy brings us art inscribed on computer chips, art created from a computer game, and the big time: computer animation at the MoMA.

(Clearly I'm not doing so well with my hyperlink addiction. I'm still looking for a good 12-step program.)
