Crushing Experience
sp00 writes "The Tsunamii.Net Crush Server is currently online live from the Millbank Gallery in London! Watch as the webserver counts itself down before it activates the industrial crusher attached to it, bearing 150-tonnes of brute force onto itself and terminating its existence. Check out the details on the Tsunamii.Net website or visit the webserver directly at http://195.195.81.5."
My first reaction to this was, "What the hell is the point of THIS?" But then I remembered how cool it used to be to watch Dave Letterman throw stuff off that tall building. The watermelons were my personal favorite! Let's face it, almost anything that's going to go Boom or Squish is in some way entertaining, and putting a countdown on it makes it more so. Perhaps the most pointless exercise of all is trying to define "art" nowadays. If somebody can sell containers of his own shit for thousands of dollars as art objects, then art is completely without reason and there's no point ranting about it. Like religion. Either you're one of the ones who are gonna try to be connected when the press goes crunch, or you're not, and it doesn't matter either way.
I never thought I'd see the say when a "Think of the Children" knee-jerk post would be moderated as +1 Interesting.
What a retarded post, you're basically you have the right to judge what is art and what is not, and what other people should do with the hardware they own. Jerk.
Most people get more out of Disney than Michaelangelo. Does that mean that Fantasia is greater art than the Pieta?
Hmmmmm...... I'll go with "Yes!"
