This is a refreshingly pragmatic approach to modern art and I love it.

I was hoping it would look cool but they just look lifelelessly damaged. Meh.

He says that he encourages the pieces to only transported by re-shipping them through FedEx, so as they change owners and travel the world they will become progressively more damaged.

sorry, this isn't "art" because it actually conveys information. art has to be useless.

I cannot tell if this is /s or real. there is an entire genre of art that specifically about functionality - functional art. Chairs, tables, buildings, vases, textile, and so on can be beautiful art yet functional.

This is the worst take on “it’s not art” I’ve ever read. You can look through any art history textbook and it’s filled to the brim with classic art that convey lots of information.
