Total idiot tries to spin kid's birth into an artistic endeavor. (http://animalnewyork.com/2011/10/some-chick-to-give-birth-then-raise-a-baby-as-art-so-send-money/)

From her website (http://www.marnikotak.com/raisingbabyx.html):

Raising Baby X: The First Year is the first year of an ongoing performance art project that re-contextualizes the everyday act of raising a child as a work of art. This project is the latest for Brooklyn-based performance artist Marni Kotak who creates multimedia works in which she presents her everyday life as art.

Weekly podcast videos… document various activities that took place that week, such as breastfeeding, diaper changing, bedtime stories, playtime, sleep, and nursing minor ailments.

I bet your friends who bore you shitless by relating every freaking microdetail of their endlessly fascinating newborn's minute-by-minute life never dreamed they could get grant money for it.

Most mothers with a Facebook page already do that, don't they?

I think (HOPE) this is a stunt. Anyone remember The Rape Tunnel (http://www.yesbutnobutyes.com/archives/2009/09/the_rape_tunnel.html)? Ew boy.
