In 1993, convicted murderer Joseph Paul Jernigan was executed and his body was donated to science. The cadaver was thinly cut, and 1,871 slices of Joseph were digitized and animated for the Visible Human Project. Croix Gagnon and Frank Schot recently reconstructed him as a 3D phantom in long-exposure photographs. The photos were created with a laptop playing the animation on fullscreen, moved slowly in darkly-lit scenes.  Beautiful and haunting, the project is entitled 12:31 [http://www.project1231.com].
Mark 12:31, "The second most important commandment is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."
