Kurtz told authorities the biological agents he was cultivating in the house were being used for his artwork and agreed to let authorities search the house.

One agent Kurtz is believed to use in his artwork is a strain of E. coli, according to a 2002 article published about the Critical Arts Ensemble, an artistic group that Kurtz helped found.

Artwork that can kill you?

He's an artist with biological materials for art purposes? Are paintings of bacteria in high demand or something?

e. coli in artwork? What is this guy thinking? Put him away for his own good and for society's protection.

(I guess an art review that says his work looks like s___ would be taken as a compliment.)

If E. Coli is a hazardous material, then shouldn't the entire human population be quarantined?

I didn't know throwing your feces at the wall was now considered art. How out of touch I am.

E. coli may be a stupid idea for an art medium, but it's only hazardous if ingested. Surely he had something more dangerous to justify all this upheaval.

The vast majority of e. coli is harmless.

I think it's the promotion of the hazmat mentality and industry at work here. There's good tax money to be had here.

If you clean your bathroom, you will be destroying "art".
