Thanks for sharing this. He will be an inspiration for some of my new projects based on Mass Surveillance. Both in video work and sculptural.

Duchamp, after proving with a fistfull of masterful paintings that he was an accomplished artist, decided to become a nihilistic philosopher through his objects and assertions: thats too much for many simple minds who still think there is just one and only way to approach to what art may be. Good job, Marcel.

oh yes dear and a bed ful of sperm and condons they call it art, nonesense!

If you mean the objet by Tracey Emin, I´m not interested, frankly. It is not for me. But if it were a new and unknown enviroment by Ed Kienholz, must probably would find it amazing. Describing material means is not enough info to make an idea. I need to see the real thing.

Can you explain to me why I am seeing only garbages and trash. Even they told me the deeper meaning about it. Its still garbage in my eye. I wanna know why.
