I'm disappointed that these don't have built-in flash drives. Imagine taking off a bra and plugging it into your computer.

Danb, for most of us geeks, it's more like imagine taking off a bra and plugging it into your computer.

Thanks. I'll be here all week.

But they're non-functional... which totally reuins it for me. It would be much mor einteresting if these were real artifacts and not just, well, whatever they are.

GuyZero: IMO, the beauty of these things is that they look almost functional, almost like products.

GuyZero: I think signal is right as the 'seemingly-functional-but-not' concept is at the heart of their artistic gesture. But yes, it would be amusing if they actually real.

Quite entertaining on the whole. :)

So, put USB connectors on everything, attach contrived social commentary, and call it art. Very lame. Ptui.

I thought that this image of a box of memories (despite the pun) was a rather poignant comment...

The funny thing is that I can see some company market it, pun and all.
