Dead Frog

aceartinc. is an Artist Run Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba that is dedicated to the development, exhibition and dissemination of contemporary art by cultural producers.

Twitch, is an exhibition comprised of works that in some way animate the inanimate through electronics, physical computing, audio and installation art.

Experiments in Galvanism is the culmination of studio and gallery experiments where Garnet Hertz implanted a miniature computer into the dead body of a frog specimen. The computer stores a website that enables users to trigger physical movement in the corpse: the resulting movement can be seen in a gallery, and through a live streaming web-camera.

He is the same guy who created Cockroach with wireless video and Cockroach-controlled mobile robot system.

For some reason, I wish he had used electronic implants in the frogs leg muscles instead of using servos.
