In Yoko Ono’s action ‹Cut Piece›, that she performed in 1964, in Japan, and again in New York, in 1965, the artist sat motionless on the stage after inviting the audience to come up and cut away her clothing, covering her breasts at the moment of unbosoming.
Another strange experiment. Before today I’ve had never heard of a non-newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid in which the viscosity changes with the applied strain rate. As a result, non-Newtonian fluids may not have a well-defined viscosity (wiki).
