Wallpaper Made With Smallpox Vaccine

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored the creation of 38 works of art to educate people about the power of vaccines.
One of the works, Flowers, by Vik Muniz and Tal Danino, features a print which resembles floral wallpaper but is made from liver cells that have been treated with smallpox vaccine.


“I always work with scientists because I think we’re trying to do the same thing,” Muniz says in a video accompanying the project. “It’s a beautiful thing that a vaccine is actually made out of poison. I find this fascinating, it’s poetic.”
