Visible Man (thing) by mimewars

Visible Man is the name given to a man, drawn or sculpted, with visible innards, and usually removable skin, muscles, organs, and so on. Found in a book, there would be multiple sheets of clear plastic, like you would find on an overhead projector, each with a layer of the man drawn on. As a model, there would be, for example, a clear layer of skin you could detach to get a closer look at the inner workings. This, logically, is used as a study aid for those learning anatomy.

During his tour in support of Feelings, David Byrne would change his costume every couple of songs, as if he were one of the dolls in the art to Feelings. He had, for example, a suit made out of bright pink fake fur. (I was told that his wife actually designed all of these costumes.) For the "Electro version" of Psycho Killer, he came out in a body suit that showed what the muscular system looks like.

Later, he put out a limited release CD of remixes of some of the songs from Feelings, used a picture of himself in that body suit for the cover, and called the CD The Visible Man.

Here are the tracks, listed with the DJ's and producers who made the remix:
