Lots of angles to attack "art" but monetization isn't one that applies here. This is extremely hard work to sell, time-consuming to create, and doesn't scale in any way that's compatible with an industry unpinned almost entirely by scarcity. Think about how much this would cost to prototype and build, and how much time the artist put into conceptualizing and creating it. Then think about the tiny subset of people who would want to (and had space to) live with pieces like this—no matter how cool they are. Even if a piece like this sold for $50k (which would put this artist in > 95th percentile of earners), take $25k off the top for the gallery, subtract out cost of materials and take into account maximum annual output and, factoring in value of his time, we're talking modest middle class money. Nevermind the endless schmoozing and strategic friendships and events and studio visits it takes to drum up any gallery/institutional/collector relationships... Kudos to the artist, keep fighting the good fight!
