Interesting idea. Interesting result too. But I'd like to see what happens if you put the "[FRAGILE]" sign on the package.

This evokes no such emotion in me other than "wow, that's 9 years of your life you will never get back"

Ehm... probably it has some other artistic meaning that he shipped those glass for nine years, but... the same effect would be achieved in days or even hours, with gentle hits of soft hammer, or hurling those boxes or packing all of them at once in a car and having one hour offroad trip. Art is art because - apart from other conditions - process of creating it and effect is unique to the artist. And I know that someone could say "yes, you say anyone could do it, but no one actually did it", but difference is that there are very few people who could imitate Rubens, but anyone is able to pack piece of glass, send it to wherever, and display broken pieces as art. And just because someone actually did it, it not mean that this is art.

I'm dumb, I don't get the message of this...

I can't see the art in this. Sry.

pretentious happenstance as "art" .. The Lazy "Artist" . com

I . . .I. . I mean I actually rather like modern art and have even defended some controversial pieces to friends 7 family but I am having trouble seeing this a art.

Commissioned by UPS or DHL??

So I bought a bunch of glass blocks, a hammer and went to the FedEx recycling bin and viola! 9 hours later!

Lol.. looks like FedEx shaming... but nonetheless, I liked the concept! Innovative!

I think they actually look very pretty in the exhibit where they are stacked.

I'm all for an artist expressing him or herself and creating art however they wish but using art to bash a company and its employees for its "carelesness" is distasteful. Most people are too ignorant to know that any package you send with ANY carrier should be packed to sustain a 3 foot drop. Conveyor belts don't know, or care for that matter, that you've sent a computer. Some facilities sort hundreds of thousands of packages a day! If you've ever worked in or visited a ship center you'd be impressed that more package casualties and "lost" packages didn't occur more often. Accidents do happen people.....and there are the few bad employees, but for the most part it's due to the shipper not packaging the shipment properly. So to sum up my rant, do art in any way you want but don't purposely ship a glass box, not pack it, and use the broken pieces to say this is how ALL packages get handled.

We sent all our belongings from Munich to Dublin by Deutsche Post. It was terrible mistake, they broke or damage everything! Even metal coffee table was bended. We tried to contact support, but they don't care at all. :( So if this artist has sent all this shiny glass things by Deutsche Post he would get a pure glass dust.

They are the exact size of the box...only thing cardboard protecting it of course it will crack

This is not art...

If Jeff Koons can shove a vacuum cleaner in plastic box and call it art, why not this?

I've got a crazy idea, bubble wrap the f*****g things and let's see how damaged they get??!? Do people honestly think that each package gets strapped to a seat and is carefully ushered through the airport

This is an interesting- experiment. If FedEx paid for the research it would be brilliant- Art- it isn't.

so much imagination(!!!SARCASM ALERT)

This artist must have been very rich and very bored.

I'd send that to FedEx officials to see how the goods are handled.

FedEx is not going to be happy about this.

nothing to see here.. just an " artist" making some "art"!!
