There is a deception that is inherent to the process of placing value on an object. There is a slaughter (a massacre, metaphorically speaking) when this deception reaches it's tipping point.. and the associated financial market collapses.
I think that good art should stimulate the viewer and provoke thought. I also like art that explores the immediate themes and situations that inhabit our societies. For me, this piece achieves all of those things.

> This work also reliant upon the network and grid for its existence
> which handicaps its pretensions to objecthood.I think this is a very pretentious and nonsensical statement. Anyway, I would argue that it's reliance upon a network is integral to the piece. I think it speaks of interlinked systems, feedback loops and financially autonomous systems that lead us towards fated outcomes.
- reliance on the network makes it a stupid telephone not an work of art.
if something is reified that means value is obvious: no deception.jolly_rotten - the value is obvious: no deception.
jolly_rotten - good art should provoke thought? well, bad art can provoke thought too and so can a sharp in the eye.
