Genpets are a hoax product of artist Adam Brandejs.[1] It is considered a hoax of exposure. The creations were sculptured, automated creatures made of latex and plastic, and housed robotic circuitry to simulate slow respiration. They looked like small, baldskinned humanoids, and were intended to be displayed as living, but dormant, bioengineered creatures for purchase as pets. The fabricated packaging indicated a purchaser had a choice of colors, for different personalities and levels of activity [2], and that the creatures had a limited vocal capacity. The scupltures and packaging, along with the professional appearing hoax website, are so realistic that observers are often fooled. [3] [4]
