The Neuron Drive
billy writes "After two weeks of planning, painting, cutting, and slicing, I have completed my idea for the Neuron Drive, the world's first 80GB canvas. It is a fully functional USB hard-drive. The Neuron Drive contains 2 fans and 1 Maxtor 80GB hard-drive. It is fully functional as a hard-drive and both fans spin."
How well is it dealing with being on fire?
Now I can combine my two dream jobs into one exciting career path: art thief and data pirate!
Oh man, I can't wait for a high-brow credit card company to install some of these in their art gallery / server room.

Stuff that matters? That some guy wants to sell some art on Slashdot? On the plus side, when the dupe is posted, it will have some funny comments. (unlike this post)
The fans spin, wow! Sign me up for that, talk about art pushing innovation.
To be honest, this might have been worth something if the drive was anything other than a Maxtor.
Ripping an new rectum in the fabric of spacetime.
Technically, the hard-drive can be replaced if needed. Hmmm, Would it still be art with a 400GB SATA drive in there. I dunno, seems like a waste of a good picture to me.
did taco have a kid?

1) Integrate hard drive into painting
2) POST ON SLASHDOT
3) Profit!!!
Hey - I'll give you 50 cents for the fans if you give me free shipping?
I liken the fans to Alzheimers or other neurocentric deficiencies of the mind. They are insanity and confusion, a spiraling of the thought process out of control.
... partaking of both +Funny and +Insightful, yet different from either ... I'm not sure what to call it, perhaps +Dreamtime or +Neal-Stephenson-Metaphoric ....
Your intriguing comments deserve a new mod category

This is a bold attempt at combining different media that challenges the way we think about blah, blah, blah... Just kidding. This sucks.
I just stapled a ziploc bag full of microchips to my cat. Can I get a Slashdot article and some money now?
Thanks.

It _speaks_ to me, it really does.. The diametric clash of postmodern introspection with the bold colours of a renaisance optimism trancends the fundamental dichotomy of the other, to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor of the artists compassionate soul,leaving me with a profound and vivid insight into, er, into.. whatever it was the thing was about. Oh but the technological blackness, the deep gravity of that unfeeling automaton sucking the life of humanity into its dark data claws, ceaseless, unfeeling, relentless abberation on the face of mankind. Oh the inhumanity, the blackness, the horror, THE HORROR!

Can you all not see what is being put before you, have you no vision? This is Art! Pure genius, and if it's not may God strike me d

Certainly the world was scandalized when Grean's quadrilateral began to sell for hundred of thousands of dollars and began to grace the walls of museums and executive boardrooms alike. And the grant from NEA, for funding to transform the quadrilateral to polygon with increasing number of vertices, nearly caused congress to dissolve the entity.
We know now that all those people missed Grean's genius. It was not about the quadrilateral or the polygons, or even the material, be it found objects like scrap metal, wrapping paper, wood, or old panties. It was about forcing these things from the found form to the structured bounded state that the world demands of us all. It was about one person's vision to create a contrived blank onto which each one of us could reflect on our own realities, hopes, dreams, and mortality.

As an artist, /. isn't exactly the first place I'd go for feedback
I have to agree with that. Slashdot is mostly just a bunch of insecure pimply faced geeky teenagers, all of which of are less intelligent than they think they are, and each one trying harder than the next to "prove" how clever they are by clamouring to post some "insightful" criticism of every article that appears. Come on people - knowing how to install a graphics card into your PC doesn't make you smart, and certainly doesn't make you know anything about anything other than computers. So get over yourselves, just because other people think you're clever because you can "work with computers", doesn't mean you are.
The subtext of practically every slashdot post is a lame and usually flawed attempt to say "I'm smarter than everyone else". Seriously. It's pathetic.
Does "every slashdot post" include this one? Probably.
Right. Remember folks, if people like it, it ain't art. Art isn't "cool," which is what makes it so damned "cool." Even though we can't define art, we know it when we see it.. just like obscenity. In fact, we shouldn't have to define art using words, because art is expressing yourself without using words. Except for literature and poetry. And when we understand exactly what you're saying with your art.. when it's not cryptic and open to interpretation, we don't want it. And by we, I mean the people who count -- other artists -- not the misguided public who can't tell a Picasso from a paint-by-numbers (which doesn't say anything about Picasso, of course) even though they're the people who buy your "art" because we don't have any money. Art is something you "feel," unless what you "feel," is "popular," in which case you're not "feeling," it. Don't sell out, maaaannnn.

You goofball!
EVERYBODY knows that stapling a bag of microchips to a cat won't last!
You'd have to SOLDER THEM INTO THE CAT to be truly innovative and have durability.
Don't think that a small group of dedicated individuals can't change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.
That's just plain wrong!
Those Bonsai Kittens actually harm the animals.
You're a sicko.
The only bad thing about soldering IC's into Kittens is the smell of the flesh/kitty hair burning under the soldering iron. They tend to whine and meow wildly when you do it, but a strategically placed cotton ball in their throat will quell the "kitty noise" while you append the IC's to the body.
A desktop fan will easily clear up the fried kitty hair odor - this makes the job much easier.
