Viral Campaign Creates Fake New Species

Seems the world hasn’t infact gone mad…and the Gen Pets are just a spoof. A viral campaign instigated by an upandcoming sculptor, whose purpose for the project appears to be a mixture of commercial art, social commentary and job-seeking. Such is the power of viral that if you Google “Gen Pets” you now get over 3.5 million results. Not bad exposure.

Our friends at GUSH Magazine inform us that Gen Pets are made by Adam Brandejs, a 24 year old artist from the Ontario College of Art & Design. The Gen Pets can be purchased in several retail stores on Queen Street, including Iodine and Arsenic.
