Caleb Larsen, ‘A tool to deceive and slaughter’ (2009)
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.

Germaine Kruip, ‘Once it was today’ (2006)
The Red Salon in the Van Loon Museum, Amsterdam, is cast in a its own colour negative (green) by using a still video projection; all colour is thereby extracted from a section of the room, turning the space into a black and white version of itself.
