Dinomouse Sequel Mutant X was part of Screenportfolio. The print combines a still from the film ‘One Thousand Years BC’ with an image of a mouse with a human ear grafted on. The mutant mouse was created by Charles and Jay Vacanti in a laboratory in Massachusetts, USA. The artist found the film-still in a book and fed it into a computer, editing out other dinosaurs, and adding the mouse.
