It's an electronics device armed with seven ultrasonic speakers at its base that blast white noise into the mic of any Alexa device to keep it from eavesdropping on you when you're not using it.
And then this one is a life-size sculpture that keeps track of and counts the number of times anyone has touched it.
Because if you ever go to a gallery museum, you're not supposed to touch the art, so this is supposed to discourage people touching the art.
Right.
Oh, actually, I wanted to wrap up the story about the car.
The car was real.
The 5,000 keys were real.
We released this to the world in the fall of 2022.
And for the following nine months, we actually got to watch this thing change hands hundreds, if not thousands of times, mostly via very peaceful communal meetups and the occasional Grand Theft Auto, which I can't really talk too much about here.
Over that nine months, it started in New York.
It made its way down to Philadelphia.
It stayed in Philadelphia for a few days, Grand Theft Auto.
And then eventually made its way across the Midwest to the West Coast, where nine months later,
I mean, the GPS stopped.
We kind of assumed that the project was over, which is OK, it had a glorious life.
But then one day, I get a call, and it's a call from a tow pound.
And the tow pound is saying, hey, we're pretty sure that we have your car because it is registered under your name, but it's such a weird thing because people keep showing up and claiming the car, and they all have keys that work.
So we ended up taking the car back.
It was no longer functional.
And we decided to place it in an art gallery in Los Angeles.
