Pixie Dust
Monday, April 5, 2010 at 9:29PM A film from the research and development for a series of works entitled 'Wasted'. This film is made for the BBC Big Screens and was made as part of DadaFest 09.
Pixie Dust explores the notion of limb regeneration for humans within the contexts of science, sport, disability and super-ability.
The title Pixie Dust comes from the substance taken from the pigs gut matrix that is applied to wounds to prevent scarrification and therefore allow continual growth of the tissue – as used in finger regeneration (allegedly) it plays the nonreality and disney-fication of scientific research.
