Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr FIGURE 4 | Tissue Culture and Art Project, Victimless Leather – prototype of Stitchless Jacket grown in a Technoscientific ‘Body’ (2008). This semi-living miniature ‘skin’ jacket was grown from immortalized 3T3 fibroblast (mouse) and HaCat keratinocyte (human) cell lines. This interspecies material, which was created using tissue and stem cell technologies, consists of living tissue grown over a three-dimensional armature.
