I have to agree, but in the experimenting, maybe they find something amazing.

normally, I'd agree with you. but this dude was pretty effing ingenious.

yeah, but he thought about it and actually went about doing it :P

Usually there's a statement behind it. For instance, the quality of the delivery service being displayed in visual way. We ship glass products at my work and switch delivery services all the time because so many of the drivers don't care and it gets really expensive to reship items. FedEx was one of the worst we worked with so I'm not surprised at all. The artist was pointing out this same thing but through visual representation. That's better in my book than hiding behind a keyboard and just saying something sucks at least.

Tryna catch me making paintings nah Tryna make me use a pencil nah Aint got no use for those those pastels ah Been saying f**k ink and stencils yah Gonna make art that'll be unique Take a picture of some dirty feet Broken glass box gonna look real fleek Makin art don't need no paper sheet ah ahahah ah ahahah Look what you've done I'm a muthafuckin art boy

I'm an artist... and I kinda agree with you Susanna maybe this one isn't the example. But there was someone in the UK that got an art grant to live as a worm... I mean... that's taking the p**s a bit.

Art has literally always been that way, it's just very likely that anybody is going to remember this particular thing that's happening right now in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, 500 years...

Exactly the same. Ask my mug that arrived in 2 useless pieces even though my friend put a fragile sign on each side of the package to be sure.

Plus pack in bubble wrap or other packing material.

Fragile stickers are for the Drivers. All packages go to MASSIVE sorting facilities. Conveyor belts don't care about fragile stickers. Always pack your packages accordingly!

It would probably end up in even more pieces.

Thank you all for the info.

While I am sure that FedEx isn't too happy about this, in reality a person would have to be crazy to pack delicate items this way (unless like the artist the shipper wants them to break). From the pictures it appears that the glass has no packing between it and the box and fits snugly in the box without any foam cushions. I am sure that this was by design (i.e. the glass boxes were designed to just barely fit into the standard FedEx boxes. This is not a way that anybody should typically pack anything!
