- MommaLu, on 10/08/2008, -42/+202The crap that passes for art is retarded.
- inactive, on 10/08/2008, -13/+133Seems like the artist's talent is more air than solid
- BossKey, on 10/09/2008, -3/+88omg more air than solid...witness the artistic genius of...
...a chain link fence! - netneutrality, on 10/09/2008, -5/+75It's good to know some people have lives even more boring than mine.
- SillyRabbits, on 10/09/2008, -5/+53Yeah, punching lots and lots of holes in things used to be called an obsessive compulsive disorder. Now it's art.
- xxMaxaroni, on 10/09/2008, -1/+46I wish there was a close-up picture so we could see all the holes.
- cherwilco, on 10/09/2008, -1/+41if there is any way to appreciate this at all, it would at the very least require a high res photo.
- palehorse864, on 10/09/2008, -2/+37Somehow I don't think this idea holds water.
- IvanB, on 10/08/2008, -9/+38I think that's still more creative than some of the paintings in museums.
- ryan83189, on 10/09/2008, -1/+29He should make it into a desktop water fountain. With the water streaming out of the holes it would look like a water bottle made of... water.
- noen, on 10/09/2008, -13/+38No, art today is about the idea. Anyone can paint, sketch or draw and millions do. But what is hard, really really hard, is coming up with a good idea, a concept. This is a good one, beautifully executed.
- Okinsley, on 10/09/2008, -5/+30*reads article*
dammit...wasted 20 seconds of my life... - inactive, on 10/09/2008, -6/+29Whooptee-*****'-doo
- holymrack, on 10/09/2008, -0/+23By creating a plastic art problem?
- vcrmaster1, on 10/09/2008, -0/+19I want to put diet coke and mentos into that bottle.
- mrcoldcow, on 10/08/2008, -7/+24It's...it's...it's a water bottle...
- sipsyrup, on 10/09/2008, -5/+22What's with all these people and their nay saying? I think its pretty cool.
Also, a higher res picture would be much nicer. - IvanB, on 10/08/2008, -1/+16"The 12-ounce beverage container has been so thoroughly perforated that the surface is more air than solid."
At that point, I don't know if you can call that a water bottle. - emoblow, on 10/08/2008, -10/+24deep.
- NeoNcP, on 10/09/2008, -12/+25apparently digg isn't quite liberal enough to appreciate art, who'd of thunk
- nashashmi, on 10/09/2008, -1/+12What was the diameter of the hole? Someone should take a count of how many holes he had to make to get to where he did.
But then again, its not possible for everyone to be this bored. - jtbell04, on 10/09/2008, -3/+13You wouldn't need a close-up to see your mom's holes.
- tinkertoy, on 10/09/2008, -4/+14This is the perfect definition of art.
Making the materially practical practically impractical by its very existence.
Yeah. (turns on the television) - llamagod, on 10/09/2008, -3/+12Even if the "art" part of it is lacking, you can't deny that it looks cool.
- metaliq, on 10/09/2008, -6/+15I know everyone is on their "art is for fags" wagon, lollying around calling ***** on this. And really, it does come across as pretentious (is that word allowed to be used on the internet again yet?).
But it does look pretty ***** cool. - Brad324, on 10/09/2008, -2/+11one time when i was drinking a coffee while looking at porn, i fapped so hard that i spilled my coffee. I declare my coffee stained nutrag a work of art.
- Ramble, on 10/09/2008, -0/+9It isn't. it's mostly empty, not entirely empty.
- dsmx, on 10/08/2008, -1/+9an air bottle then.
- MrSunshine, on 10/09/2008, -0/+7Thanks for the idea, I'm stealing it :D
- theysayjump, on 10/09/2008, -0/+7Holey*
- ackbz1, on 10/09/2008, -5/+11sorry it's not futurama fan art, diggers
- redux2redux, on 10/08/2008, -5/+11Do this with the other 75 billion empty bottles and sell them as art.
Then we have solved the plastic water bottle trash problem. - headband, on 10/09/2008, -0/+6thats it...a bottle with holes in it
I was expecting it to do something weird with surface tension and the pattern of holes or something and still be able to hold water....now that would be impressive - MadMan6680, on 10/09/2008, -9/+15I did that with a thumbtack once, WHERE IS MY FRONTPAGE ARTICLE
- aristideau, on 10/09/2008, -1/+7I once visited this art gallery with my boss (we were doing some IT stuff for them) and we were hanging around looking at the displays waiting for the client.
We were both looking at a display which was nothing more than a plain old steel rubbish bin with an old tea pot placed on its lid, thats it, a bin with a teapot.
I just pointed at it and smirked and he kinda giggled.
Then we went to the displays on the wall and there was a row of OMO packets. I though to myself the artist did a killer job reproducing the OMO packets (thinking is was a Warhol Heinz beans reproduction type display).
I went up to one and picked it up just as my boss was asking me if I would have this on display at my house.
As I picked it up I realised that they were actual packets of OMO and I replied, "I do have this art on display in my house, not in my living room though, I have it on display in my laundry" and with that he got burst out laughing just as the client walked in.
He then got the giggles and throughout the meeting he was constantly trying to muffle his laughter. - yingjai, on 10/09/2008, -1/+7It's not even an air bottle as it can't hold in any air. It's just a useless piece of... thing.
- mysedai, on 10/09/2008, -1/+7Holey plastic bottle, Batman!
- WHOOMP, on 10/09/2008, -5/+10i don't understand, where does the transformation from "a common disposable object" to "a carefully rendered sculpture, something permanent, possessing intention, pattern, and beauty", it just looks like a water bottle with a lot of holes to me... is that the point of it i guess?
- DucoNihilum, on 10/09/2008, -4/+9What is GOOD about punching holes in a water bottle? Seriously. Just because you haven't seen something like it before doesn't mean it's good. I could get a tac and punch holes in a soda can, or something equally weird- that doesn't mean I'm an artist.
- doublefelix, on 10/09/2008, -3/+8If you magnified your desk with an electron microscope you'd realize it was made up of entirely empty space too.
- Paulish, on 10/09/2008, -7/+11A slightly larger photo... http://www.seattleweekly.com/photoGallery/?gallery ...
- Pledio, on 10/09/2008, -2/+6It's just like women in porn: The more they're drilled into, the more money they're worth.
- adam1mc, on 10/09/2008, -3/+7Bored pothead looking for something to do?
- SourBreastMilk, on 10/09/2008, -2/+6"In medieval times art was for God's sake, during the Renaissance art was for man's sake, in the 20th century art was for art's sake, but now no more art for God's sake!"
Forgot who said this - ParanoydAndroid, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4I find the weirdest part of that story to be the fact that you were drinking coffee while OGC-ing.
- Twinnie, on 10/09/2008, -0/+4Splinter, Shredder, etc.
- inactive, on 10/09/2008, -9/+13i think the art comes from the simpleness yet complexity of it, nothing more than a water bottle with thousands of tiny holes in it.
