This is outrageous!
The compression is the landmark signature of Cesar Baldaccini (1921-1998).
Whether those so called artists know his life time work and it is plagiary or they don’t and they should (at least) learn contemporary art history.
As we all know, Art is a dirty job.
But it becomes radically stinking whenever somebody, unashamedly steals an artist's work, claiming it as his own, speculating on the public's ignorance and unculture.

Fighting the Highly Ridiculous Art Market
A Sculpture That Perpetually Sells Itself On eBay
Artist Caleb Larsen has created an art sculpture which, when connected to the Internet, perpetually attempts to sell itself on eBay.
"Combining Robert Morris’ Box With the Sound of Its Own Making with Baudrillard’s writing on the art auction this sculpture exists in eternal transactional flux. It is a physical sculpture that is perpetually attempting to auction itself on eBay.
Every ten minutes the black box pings a server on the internet via the ethernet connection to check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself.
If a person buys it on eBay, the current owner is required to send it to the new owner. The new owner must then plug it into ethernet, and the cycle repeats itself." laughingsquid.com
Art is in the hands of merchants.
Totally.
Artists live in a fourth-world economy pattern with absolutely no solidarity, no union, no protection, no rules.
Marketing and/ or business education do not belong to art schools' teaching. Never!
Nobody cares of course.
This project makes a dent in that state of fact, proving this unacceptable situation can be fought.
Please support it!

Drawings under the influence of LSD
Since the 60' and regarding different aspects of art, influenced by the then recent psychology, a specific interest for "altered states" emerged. To be or not to be under the influence when creating (definitely not when driving) is an open debate...
Philosophy meets Mathematics
Dr Grigory PerelmanPhilosophy meets Mathematics:
Dr Grigory Perelman has solved one of the most intractable problems in mathematics!
What he found is beyond my understanding and I hope to find some enlighment soon (on line?)
Yet his attitude in itself is worth more than any fame or money.
Instantly dubbed the most intelligent man on earth he is buzzed not for what he found, which goes over six billion people's heads, but because he refused the prize and does not care about most people's motivation: celebrity...
He did not get oversized boobs implanted, did not eat live spiders in the jungle, does not play football or whatever sports, does not design clothes, does not sing, nor do porn.
He then might be the seed of something more important than pleasing Simon Cowell and consors, he is a true genuine human being and stands for it.
As a conclusion, if he is the most intelligent man on earth he might show some alternative there to be understood and followed.
Turning his back on fakeness, he is not only a mathematician but a true Socratian philosopher...Armand Dauré.
