Art student creates simulated bedmate

NEW YORK, May 21 (UPI) -- A New York art student's project allows viewers to get into bed with a simulated woman.

Drew Burrows told the New York Post that "In Bed" is a comment on loneliness. The project involved a mattress along with a computer and projector to provide the woman.

"It's really G-rated," Burrows said.

"It's based on the idea that you're coming home to an empty bed or coming home to someone sleeping in bed who is either excited or not so excited about joining you. It works on all those different levels. "The aim is to touch on those feelings of loneliness and intimacy."

Burrows is a graduate student at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. "In Bed" was on exhibit last week during the two-day Interactive Telecommunications Program Spring Show.

Natsuki Arai, a professional dancer and friend of the artist, was the model for the sleeping brunette.
