Part of what Spies found compelling about “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” was how it encapsulated not simply the way people feel about the value of art specifically but also about value in general. “Things have become much more virtual and much more detached,” he says. “We’re in the middle of a financial crisis caused by computer-based trading of derivatives on derivatives.

The Fun Theory is all about…

Why is this a branded Utility? It’s an initiative of Volkswagen.

The homepage displays a few example projects, but the real goal of the project is for people to upload their own ideas, and win 2500 Euros. My only question – will they actually be implemented? If not, I still appreciate the effort, but it feels a bit hallow without knowing these ideas will be implemented.

Check out a few of their example projects:
