Litter arty

Two posts in a row from the land of the chewing gum ban.

Titled simply as “Singapore”, this is an installation piece by Thai artist Wit Pimkanchanapong (sounds like popcorn in a microwave oven), created for this year's Singapore Biennale.



The interactive artwork allows visitors to write their own notes on stickers provided by the artist and paste them onto a Google Earth image-map of Singapore. So kind of Web Minus 1.0.



So the artist is getting everyone else to a load of work, basically, just to create a roomful of litter. My father was right - all artists are lazy workshy fops, living in squalor.
