I never knew boar ran amok in Italy.
Although I scoff at such pseudo-art, I say good for him that he could get a rich nitwit to shell out the dough.Artist sells absolutely nothing for $18,300
An 'invisible sculpture' consisting of absolutely nothing whatsoever has sold for a ridiculous price at auction. Modern art can sometimes be a contentious subject, with everything from piles of rubbish to mundane objects selling for whopping great sums simply because such pieces have been defined as 'art'.
Sardinia-born artist Salvatore Garau however has now taken things one step further - perhaps as far as it is possible to go - by presenting and selling an 'invisible sculpture' at auction.
Entitled "I Am", the piece, which fills an area of totally empty space measuring 150 x 150cm, is literally nothing at all, with the only physical component being the owner's certificate of authenticity.
And the price for this piece of absolutely nothing whatsoever ? $18,300.
In a world where a banana taped to a wall can sell for $120,000, it's not entirely surprising.
"The successful outcome of the auction testifies to an irrefutable fact: the void is nothing but a space full of energy, and even if we empty it and nothing remains, according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle that nothingness has a weight," said Garau.
"It therefore has energy that condenses and transforms itself into particles, in short, in us!"
At least the new owner of the piece won't have to worry about anyone stealing it...

Is that a dong on a drone?” a woman in the audience reportedly asked.
It was adult who owned and operated the drone. I don't know if he was arrested but I think what he did was assault, not the dildo on the drone but what he did afterwards. And you are welcome. Albuquerque doesn't get in the national news very often but when we do it is for something stupid like this.Yes Virginia, that IS a rubber d**k hanging from that drone ....
Think about it, when we grew up what did we have? Rubber band wind up balsa wood planes, maybe a glow in the dark frisbee. Now a kid can have a friggin' drone with an HD camera and it's own Twitter account! WTF ! Isn't that amazing?
Oh Gawd, this is priceless. My wife and I are still cracking up over this. Thanks you Albuquerque, thank you. I needed that ....

Weird object spotted underwater in surfer video
Footage posted earlier this year on Instagram appears to show a weird shape being carried along by the waves. The clip, which can be viewed below, shows surfer Ryland Rubens riding the waves in San Diego, Southern California as part of an entry for the Regional Wave Of The Winter competition.
While his performance on a surfboard is certainly impressive, the video ended up attracting attention for a very different reason - if you look closely on the left-hand side, it is possible to see a large object being washed along by the wave.
Some have speculated that the object could be some sort of undersea creature, while others have offered up more skeptical interpretations of the clip - instead maintaining that it is nothing but a large clump of kelp or seaweed that has been dragged up from the ocean floor.
The object certainly does look a little strange, especially given its almost spider-like appearance. Sadly, however, it's much more likely that it is simply a piece of kelp being carried along by the tide.
