3. Damien Hirst

a) Cut up cow

Mother and Child divided, 1993 http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/history/hirst.htm

b) any other of his works that ellict a visceral response

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, 1996 http://www.artchive.com/artchive/H/hirst.html

The pig (entitled This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home): "The pig is sliced down the middle, displayed in two separate tanks. Driven on a plinth by motorised pulleys, this dumb animal constantly passes itself in the endless shuffle, a parody of the futile rat race of life."

      after it has been digested)

14. Francis Bacon (triptych) or the most viscerally evocative; painting

15. steak sliding down wall at Pompideau (male artist; maybe 2004 or 2005)

      it was included in the Pompideau's first real exhibit of interactive art I think

16. the experiment where people wore glasses that inverted the world;

      they adapted over a certain period of time (I need to know what that
      period of time was); maybe 1889? Perhaps ask Brian Fisher, as this
      is often cited in perception books
                                                     

17. Flesh by Scofidio and Diller (the most provocative images, maybe 3 or so)

      (that is, he cuts into his skin; Jayme will know the name of the guy)  

19. Movie: Crocuhing Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1 or 2 stills of people obviously

     flying)       

20. An image of the Indian ritual thaipusam, especially where the person

      contorts himself in ways that don't look possible                                      

21. Stills from film director Cronenberg

     a) 5 or 6 from the movie about computer game
     b) an image where the guy put the video in his stomach in Videodrome
