Dog thingy(What the hell is this?)

I got this picture in a E-mail at work and I was wondering if this is real or not. I know there are some experts on ATS who can tell if it was photoshoped or not so can someone please tell me what the hell it is.

Surely you know this is a computer generated photo as neat a pic as it is....there is no way any intelligent human can't see that!?

Yikes, I think I dated something like that back in high school Man, I never thought I got her....erm, nevermind.

I don't think it's real, but who ever did it did a darn good job with PhotoShop or latex or whatever they used...

How can you tell? i'd say it looked more like a painted model than a computer generated photo.

I think it's actually an exhibit at an art show.

As above it looks like a painted model to me.

Look at the skin folds on the "children"

and for the non link clickers

Another striking installation inspired by contemporary technology appeared in the Australian pavilion. Artist Patricia Piccinini drew on medical science to explore the potential of genetic engineering. Her hyper-real sculptures represent hybrid creatures and cloned children, complete with shiny silicone flesh and real human hair. Still Life with Stem Cells (2002) portrays a life-size young girl absorbed in play with corporeal lumps adorned with veins that appear to throb, as well as scars and mouth-like openings. Although viewers may find the "stem cells" repulsive, the girl responds to them affectionately. Another work, The Young Family (2002-2003), depicts a strangely human "sow" nursing her human/pig babies. One "child" with a human face and long ears lies on its back, gazing up at the face of its tired mother. Like Still Life with Stem Cells, the scene is at once domestic and disturbing, familiar and startling.

As you can see not a photoshop filter in sight

It is a statue, it was put on display about 6months ago. Yahoo! news covered it, not computer generated. LMAO

As stated above...doesn't matter either way...WTF!? Anyone should be able to tell at first glance it's not real LMAO!

I agree, clearly it's not real i just find it amusing how quickly people will assume something is computer generated.

Hence the " not a photoshop filter in sight" comment

That's because most of these things circulated through e-mails today, are indeed computer images....being an image junkie, I always find them fascinating.....is is nice to see something done so well that is not computerized!

Yeah it's a great bit of art

here are some more from the same artist if you want to have a look.

I don’t know if it's just me but i find the pictures of the little girl and "stem cells" a little unsettling. But then that may well have been the artist intention.

Yes it fake.. but not these...
