A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter

Okay - this counts. It's art. It's rare, so it could be valuable. It's a smart idea, so it could get exposure. It's plugged in with ebay, so it's social and self-promoting.

Really, it's one step away from a basic (parasitic) life form. I like it.

It's even better --

The software driving the project will remain hosted on servers of the Artist’s choosing to aid in maintenance.

So the "artwork" is only complete so long as the "servers of the Artist's choosing" remain connected. Much like the "artwork" that people purchased from Yahoo! or Microsoft was no longer complete when the DRM servers went off-line...

...so it's a social commentary too. Definitely art.
