Perhaps the actual "artwork" is the auction itself, and we are all unwitting participants. Or it's just someone hoping to make some easy money.

That would be interesting. Save all the comments saying it’s a scam and maybe put them on constant scroll on the laptop’s screen. Name it Art of the Scam.

Edit: Looking at it now, this appears to actually just be a somewhat clever way to get attention for “Deep Instinct” - a company that does some sort of malware threat detection.
