“Artist Caleb Larsen’s latest creation, A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter, isn’t likely to appeal to traditional art collectors, who tend to like to hold onto their purchases for a little while. That’s because Larsen’s black cube is programmed to try to re-sell itself as soon as a new owner takes posession — and buyers are contractually obligated to let it do so.

Larsen describes the object as existing in an ‘eternal transactional flux. It is a physical sculpture that is perptually attempting to auction itself.’”

This is a very interesting blurb on a completely new artistic idea.  I love the uncertainty of it, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to swing the ~$6500 opening bid the art has created for itself.  Wild.
