Yeah, I have absolutely no idea why anyone would buy this.
"Oh, it's a camera that won't allow me to take whatever picture I want. And it makes staticky, clicky noises, sounding like an ill dolphin. Just what I've always wanted in a camera!"
Can anyone give me a compelling reason why I should consider buying this thing?
- chippy 11y agowhy should you buy it? Because it's a work of art, and not a consumer device, mainly. Because it doesn't make logical sense. It works as art and has value because it creates the things that we are talking about in this thread.
- jackmaney 11y agoWhy should I support so-called "art" that wants to restrict what I can do? Why should I spend any money on this garbage, when a digital camera from any Big Box store is clearly superior?
- chippy 11y agoIs someone forcing you to support it? Do you feel pressured by us to support it? I think it exists independently from our support - it's not looking for backers or donors or consumers.
- Sanddancer 11y agoIt was made as a political protest of legislation that was intended to block the amount of photography of buildings whose design was copyrighted. Unfortunately, it wasn't really a /good/ protest of such, so the discussion has become more a discussion as to if there's artistic quality in the banal.
- QuotedForTruth 11y agoIts not even presented as a product for sale. Its just a project for the sake of discussion. Look at the discussion it inspired in this thread. Its art in and of itself.
