if that's the case, then its really no big deal, since it would have to be done anyway.

as for the resulting mess being called "art"... i suppose that's subjective.

The car looked very rough from the camerawork. I'd be willing to bet that it was an insurance payoff at some level. Hood and etc looked swirled and etc. Would make no sense for the car to be this rough in 2004 if it were near new (which it should have been at the time). The "artist" was looking to create drama. This thread proves that the "artist" truly may have actually been the genius everyone says he isn't. The video was pretty cool. The camerawork was undoubtedly an important part of the exhibit. Remember the intentional Ferrari Enzo crash? There have certainly been less well planned, more expensive, less dramatic an possibly more pointless pursuits.

Someone said germans are weird.
But... this wasn't a german. This was an austrian. We speak the same language and that's all about it

The car was an pre-prodution car and the "artist" (he called himself artist.. lol) tried to built a sculpture to the subject "aggregation".

What an idiot!



Sorry for my bad english
