Michael Marcovici has some very clever conceptual art going on. I love this example in particular - Rolex Time Sand.
From the artist's site:
"Rolex
Time sand is packed in 30 kg bags . Each bag's content equals 30 days
flowing in a standard hourglass. On the 18 pallets, there are 972 bags with
a total weight of 29.160 Kg. They last for 81 years- our generous
estimation of an average lifetime."
Another piece, called One Billion Dollars...
"One
Billion Dollar is stacked on 12 standard pallets, alltogether 10
million 100 USD notes. One Billion Dollar is not so much about what you
see but what you could do or not do with the money. Besides, this is the most expensive piece of art ever made."
If you are a vinyl afficionado, you will also dig Marcovici's execution of Turntable Pilot - a radio controlled USB camera mounted to the tone arm of a turntable that allows the DJ to fly in over the grooves of the record and tuch down with precision on command.
