Art today is all about communication.
Not only about communicating with art history, as this comment on the ready-made lobster phone is doing, but about communicating with the art consumer. Is it suggesting that commoditised communication, hand in hand with a technology that, steered by the capitalist desire to forge new forms of communication and to turn every form of communication into a source of profit, has become a Homeric cry of D'oh, a mere reiterative chattering where nothing is ever said, where everything is half-baked, yet where this nothing-said takes the form of an excess of chatter?
Or is this work just a ball of dough dumped upon a telephone? You, the art-consumer, must decide for yourself.
