But surely a conartist needs to gain the confidence of the potential investor? I'm not sure that anyone can realistically think it worth paying so much to have either a worthless piece of scrap or a useful piece of electronics (depending on the buyers perspective, of course) either forced in to plywood or destroyed to glue on to it, so he would have to work much harder at gaining confidences in that area.
Or maybe he is trying to get himself displayed in the Tate Modern, alongside a pickled cow and a pile of common house bricks??

Well my confidence is inspired.
Perhaps you underestimate the costs associated with the methods used by the artist. These are HURRICANE IMPLANTED EPROMS!
VERY RARE! To create these unique works of art, the artist aimed these common EPROMS in the hurricane wind stream to embed them into plywood, in an artistically pleasing pattern.
You must appreciate how the artist has suffered for the art. |

LMAO, now I wonder how long it will be before someone claims to have done something like that for some obscure and weird "artistic" listing

what about this:-) |
The middle one looks like the Sears Tower?  |
hehe, you can get it for a bazillion dollars:-)
I name it "Intel Memmorial" (all Intel boards and the top is memory modules). I don't think it is so similar to the sears tower...
anyway, I can make one for you - two bazillion dollars:-) |
