I had lost track of Glen Baxter many years ago. In fact I had forgotten that I had forgotten about him. But apparently he is still with us and is on Instagroin.

The Aquabats (Superhero Surf Rock Group) is having a kickstarter campaign. If you have 10 million to burn, you get an island!

Ten million.
I love this idea, but sadly there are people out in the world with that much to burn… and you wouldn’t want them to be Prime Minister of anything. Think of Peter Thiel trying to figure out a way to live stateless.

Yup. So, they think it’s a 3 year term? Fine, rewrite the voting laws, so surprise! One man, one vote. You’re the man, so it’s your vote.
By year one, Aquabania will be a tax-evasion, money laundering hub. These guys are either naïve, stupid, not able to deliver, con artists, or complicit. Maybe even a combination.

They only got away with it because Batman got pulled over on the way to the crime scene.

Given just how much signage there is in the average art gallery or museum, I don’t blame the man for missing it.
Isn’t the whole piece ableist, though? There are plenty of people who can see well enough to enjoy an art gallery, but lack the depth perception to properly assess something like this. Or people like me, who can see well enough (er, with corrective lenses), but who get random bouts of vertigo. Or people who have mobility issues which mean that despite their best efforts, they sometimes go left when they mean to go right.
Seems to me this thing always had been an injury waiting to happen. I like concept pieces, but not that much.

I totally agree that the exhibit is poorly-thought-out and really ought to have had a physical barrier around it.
Still can’t help getting a giggle from the looney-tunes aspect of it, though…

They should have installed it on the wall – and have a big “Please Touch” sign. Maybe fewer accidents that way?

Now that is an awesome idea.

now that i think about it, i’m rather surprised a gallery let some artist carve a deep hole in their gallery floor in the first place.

That’s less than 0.0003 ounces of lube per visitor.
Better get two drums.

I’m imagining the hole as some kind of indoor skydiving thing. I would love that art exhibit.

Oh, me too. I’d love to fiddle with that paint (but not if it release toxic nanotubes!).
