This "Energy Blanket" is by fascinating performance artist Marina Abramovic. You may remember just seeing her in the January '10 issue of W. The "Energy Blanket" comes with a drawing of Marina's body indicating where each of the accompanying 14 magnets should go before climbing underneath the blanket. Talk about interacting with your art piece.
If you read the W article you know that Abramovic is not shy and takes things to great lengths. This March she has a retrospective at MOMA where her interactive art will involve two people in the nude standing opposite eachother in a very, very narrow doorway that the public must enter through to see the exhibition. Awwwkward! Just standing outside watching everyone entering will be a show in itself!

i love that idea! people freak out when nudity comes into play.. i mean we all pretty much have the same parts you know.. i mean men have same parts as men and women as women.. it's just funny when people start to get weirded out by something they see every day..
