Amputation Box is an art installation that feeds a website. 
 
 
It's just a few boxes boxes with holes in them. Holes are finger-sized, hand-sized, and head-sized. Light comes out of the holes. Every object poked into the holes is visually amputated and redisplayed as landscape or organism: horizon flesh, or creeping or flying flesh. 
 
 
The Amputation Box website updates dynamically each time a new morsel of flesh video is amputated and automatically added to the archives on the server. Physical and online spaces form a continuum. The physical Amputation Boxes feed the Amputation Box website. 
 
 
It is about birth, death, rebirth and how each body is part of a larger body. The embodied body and the online body. 
 
 
It is a visual meditation on molecular reincarnation designed to generate nano-epiphanies. It exists virtually, physically, and mentally. 
 
 
Online real-time reincarnation.
