A flying cat? Dutch artist turns dead feline into a helicopter


We've seen a lot of strange things on the Internet, but this dead cat turned into a remote-control flying helicopter may be the strangest yet.

The cat helicopter was conceived by Dutch artist Bart Jansen, and debuted for the public at the KunstRai ArtFair in Amsterdam that ended Sunday. Jansen calls his creation the Orvillecopter and describes it as "half-cat, half-machine."

The Orvillecopter is exactly what it looks like: A taxidermied cat with a plastic propeller attached to each paw. No animals were harmed for this project. The cat, who was conveniently named Orville, belonged to Jansen and died after he was hit by a car.

"After that he received his wings posthumously," the artist writes in a description of a YouTube video showing the Orvillecopter's first flight.

The artist says he did observe a period of mourning before turning his dead cat into a flying machine, but he clearly thinks he's done Orville a favor by giving him flight after death.

"Now he is flying with the birds," he writes. "The greatest goal a cat could ever reach!"

According to an artist's statement, Jansen's work is mostly about what happens when the race for technological progress meets human error.

"When Bart creates installations, they are mostly inventions, new machines, devices that fufill meaningless functions," the statement reads. "One condition goes: They must work."

It did take Jansen a while to get his Orvillecopter to work, as a series of YouTube videos shows. But after a few engine updates and a new speed controller, the Orvillecopter was in good flying form, as you can see from the video below.

Reminds me of another Dutch artist: Tinkebell. She killed her (terminally ill I must add) cat and turned it into a purse. She recieved international critics and even death threads...
She also had an exhibition where she wanted to smash a few 100 baby chicken.

The critics didn't understand that she really tried to critisize the way the Western society treats animals...




BTW TINKEBELL IS HOT

not as hot as the NYC Latina who is a taxidermist that I posted up about a yr ago...she has over 50 dead animals in her small NYC apt. Bambi, dead ducks, mice, foxes, raccoons, rats, assorted birds...she goes and finds them on the road or in the woods.
She likes opening them up, "Its like a surprise"
