Body Integrity Identity Disorder
BIID is a psychological condition in which the individual requests an elective amputation. Individuals with this condition experience the persistent desire to have their body physically match the idealized image they have of themselves. This desire forces individuals to deal with the paradox of losing one or more major limbs (i.e. arm[s] or leg[s]) to become whole. In their minds, “Less is more”.

art smarts! - (P) Lot
(P) LOT questions the occupation and dedication of public space and encourages reconsiderations of "legitimate" participation in city life. Contrary to the common procedure of using municipal parking spaces as storage surfaces for vehicles, P (LOT) proposes the rental of these parcels of land for alternative purposes. The acquisition of municipal permits and simple payment of parking meters could enable citizens to, for example, establish temporary encampments or use the leased ground for different kinds of activities. A first initiative for this re-dedication is realized through the conversion of ordinary car covers into portable tents, avialiable for loan at the MUMOK. Visitors to the museum and interested citizens who wish to participate in the development of this proposed culture will have the choice to use one of five covers ranging from a common sedan to a luxurious Porsche or motorcycle, thereby enabling a broadcast of disre within the marginalized space of need.

Arnold Lectures on Importance of Fuel Efficient Vehicles
While filming “Kindergarten Cop” about a decade ago, Schwarzenegger saw a fleet of military HMMWV/Humvee vehicles rolling down the street. He had to have one. Since the Humvee was a military-only vehicle, Schwarzenegger initiated talks with the manufacturer, AM General Corp., and the U.S. Army. Those discussions resulted in the civilian Hummer.
