So David Bowie would get a
cell phone dedicated to calls
from an interactive museum piece.
He could pick up or not, when and as he liked, but for the sake of the artwork, he must
in good faith be potentially
reachable. Could last as
long as he was willing, a day, a month. If he
wanted
he could pass on the
cellular as he liked and then see
what happened with a phone in a museum that could potentially always reach someone.

The Artist Is Present minus the presence of the Artist. This could be part of a series of abstractions of TAIP, each one further step removed: Justine Frischmann by semaphore; Bowie by phone; Pynchon by Shapchat; Kate Beaton by passenger pigeon; Jeff Koons by séance. |

I wonder if Kevin Bacon would call? |

Is Jeff Koons dead? I like the séance idea (oo look it gave me the accent! Bonsoir!) even better if he is not dead: it seems in keeping with his type of artifice. |
