Food Replacement Artificial Heart
1998
Found objects, cast bronze, fabricated steel
The purpose of the Food Replacement Artificial Heart is to eliminate the laborious task of preparing and eating food. When in use, the aluminum cardio-unit is implanted in the chest, replacing the organic human heart. A simple nutritive paste is introduced into the funnel. Over the course of a lifetime, the user will recover an average of 11 years and ten months, reinvesting passive eating time into more productive pursuits.
