Manufacturing Monroe is an animation of a fictional factory which exploits tissue engineering to grow and manufacture products that contain celebrity biopresence. These products are then sold as desirable merchandise and paraphernalia for consumers who are desperate to get their hands on a real and living piece of their icon.

What does a day in the life of the factory workers look like? Who are they and how do they feel about what they produce? How do standard factory regulations apply to this example and is this a potential misuse of a beautiful technology?

From the illustrator and designer, Emily Hayes.
