DARPA-Inspired Cyborg Bugs - Dean Christ’s Controversial Collection Casts Eye On Warfare (VIDEO)
Dean Christ’s Controversial Collection Casts Eye On Warfare

Dean Christ has created a collection of real bugs fitted with military hardware inspired by DARPA (Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency) to draw attention to the millions of dollars spent on military projects commissioned by DARPA.

The family of bugs include: M1 Scorpion Tank with Bio-Toxin injection, B-53 Bombarder Beetle with Smart Bomb, V8 Spyder Roadster with Bio Toxin Injection, Battle Bat with bombs on wings, M8 Sentinal Scorpion with advanced radar sensors, and an F-17 Blitz Beetle with missiles.

Check out the video to see what other researchers are doing with bugs. I’m not concerned about these experiments because I don’t believe we will have enough animals left on Earth to undertake “animal warfare.”

UBYKA aims to re-awaken our curiosity and sense of observation. To view things as they truly are and not be blindly subservient to the controlling system. Only by detaching oneself from these chains of illusion will we be set free. (ubyka)

I read Dean Christ's interview in the latest U.K based art mag 'don't panic'. His explaination behind the artworks are really interesting. Link below http://www.dontpaniconline.com/magazine/nature/dean-christcyborg-insects

I really like what he says about the future, ie. "just as humans use machines to do their work for them and have become obese and lazy as a result, so the insects that escape from some crazy army base would want to equip themselves with ‘up-grades' that would make life easier for them. So the spider would want wheels, the scorpion treads, beetles jet wings and butterflies helicopter blades. They would become lazy and rather than patiently stalking their prey would just blast them."
