oof. that's pretty extreme. I like the genre they invented: "Let’s for now just call it sci-fi conceptual art, defined like this: take the essence of an imagined future, turn it into a concept and present this concept in present day reality. Report the reactions. "
I went to the opening and got kinda creeped out. They seemed a little too into how cool it all was.
Still pretty interesting, but I'd stick with the web presence and not do shows.
Computerworld fell for it.
this is so weird. Irony is an unstable (dangerous?) medium.
