Definitely something I would want to watch, but not take part in. This is a lot more interesting than the standard foam party. I will be following this story as it develops.
You hit it with bloodborne pathogen concerns. I also am not hip on congealing. If it was totally safe and treated with an anticoagulent then I would consider it. The stuff of memories, to be sure.
I find it intriguing how we still hold on to many ‘Taboo’s’ here in the western world. We are desensitised to many elements, experiences, perversions,interests that a mere decade ago, or during the pre facebook (PF) era would leave the minds of many aghast, when hearing about the kinds of ‘experiences’ had/created by the minds of the few. Sanguine based activities/events/forms of exhibition remains on the more obscure area of exploration. Looking at this from both animal & human BBP (Blood Bourne Pathogen) risk of exposure and a public safety perspective mentioned within the article and also by Annabelle Lecter, I would imagine the risk assessment for attendees wellbeing, would be extremely complex & paramount to green light this ‘Experience’. Great discussion can also be had when thinking about the location of this event on the globe, known for an open attitude to taboo areas of exploration, for example sex & the use of cannibis. Which other countries would give permission for an event such as this at a ‘Non Underground’ level, I would imagine there aren’t many. Personally, I attended an event such as this about a decade ago in London, the blood was synthetic and the experience itself is something that I shall never forget. In my opinion, if this is genuine, I would have serious reservations regarding the ethical use of animal blood & how would the large amount needed be sourced, together with the sourcing and use of human blood, which, in my opinion should retain its use in the healthcare industry. Being a qualified healthcare professional myself, the demand for blood donation is always high, and I feel that the use of blood in this way is wrong. Vast quantities of synthetic blood can be easily sourced, or made using readily available and relatively cheap everyday ingredients.
