How Pig parts make the world turn

Meindertsma, who spoke at the TED Global conference in Oxford, England, in July, published a book, essentially a product catalog of pig 05049's products -- 185 in all.
The book, "PIG 05049," is now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Museum staff supervisor Paul Galloway says the book illustrates "the level of disconnect, physically and psychologically, consumers have from the production of objects we use on a daily basis."
