“Faile (Pronounced like “fail”) is an international artist collective formed in 1999 and based in Brooklyn, New York. They are recognised as some of the pioneers of global contemporary street art.[citation needed] The three founding members are Patrick McNeil (Canada), Patrick Miller (U.S.), and Aiko Nakagawa (Japan). From initially wheatpasting screen printed posters on the streets of New York and major world cities, they progressed to the more permanent medium of stencil graffiti. Their instantly recognisable[citation needed] pop culture images in posters and stencils have allowed Faile to diversify into other areas encompassing fine art, sculpture, design, fashion, music, and housewares. Despite this, the core of their work remains printmaking, stencilling, and painting.” (Wikipedia)

Kintzertorium explains : “► The two inseparable brothers were born on March 20, 1617; thier parents were Baptista and Pellegrina Colloredo, living in the parish of Saint Bartholomeus de Costa in Genua. Both twins were baptized at the font: the larger one was named Lazarus and his brother, Joannes Baptista. Their parents were healthy and had previously several healthy children. According to the report, while Lazarus’s body was healthy in every respect, Joannes Baptista had a malformed body and did not open his eyes. Lazarus was the only one to suckle his mother and to emit excrement and urine. when his brother got some droplets of milk on his lips, his lips moved as if he tried to swallow them. Lazarus & Joannes Baptista’s mother had died in 1620. The conjured twins died in the year 1621, aged 4. ► Engraving made by Andreas Frisius, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 1665, for Liceti’s book: De monstris. Ex recensione Gerardi Blasii, m.d. & p.p. Qui monstra quaedam nova & rariora ex recentiorum scriptis addidit. Editio novissima iconibus illustrata. ► Fortunio Liceti (1577-1657) graduated from the University of Bologna in 1600 with a double doctorate in philosophy and medicine. He accepted a chair in logic and physics at the University of Pisa where he developed a reputation as an expert on Aristotle. Liceti is best remembered for his controversial works on genetic anomalies, hieroglyphics and astronomical debates.In this work, Liceti celebrates “monstrosity” by depicting persons with genetic anomalies as creatures of rarity and reverence and not as examples of God’s divine wrath. One of the earliest classifications of deformities, Liceti’s work was still under review in works on malformation in the 19th century. Includes both real and imaginary cases.”
