Don't forget the tapeworms

Seven German artists are living with lice in their hair in an Israeli museum for three weeks in the name of art.

The Berliners aim to stretch boundaries of what is art, saying they are toying with ideas about hosts and guests in line with a theme set by the museum.

"The idea is that we live in the museum as their guests, and at the same time we are hosting lice on our heads," said artist Vincent Grunwald, 23.

Now isn't that thought-provoking? From the BBC.

I think this is taking art a bit too far. Now if the guest/host school should carry the day, would the next step be to internalize this new art form. The artist would then become host to the guest tapeworm, for example.
