Especially given the additional energy necessary to build this thing from scraps and the opportunity cost where the artist could have contributed to something productive.
- piva00 4y ago> the opportunity cost where the artist could have contributed to something productive. Woah, not everything in life needs to be productive or measured in terms of production. Contributions don't necessarily mean something productive, don't you enjoy music? Or any kind of arts or humanities? It's such a narrow and sad worldview to judge everything against how productive or functional it is, I believe being a human and being alive is a little more than just producing bullshit...
- mc32 4y agoYou're right I agree but I would say this is only marginally better than someone trudging along the sidewalk with their shopping cart and odd assembly of random things living life on the periphery. In other words I don't see this having more merit than the random person's display of worldly possessions in a shopping cart.
