One of the funniest things I've seen in a while...

Watch the World, by Robbie Dingo is a beautiful example of what goes into building a location in Second Life. This one is based on Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and it's amazing to see details fo the craft and attention to detail that goes into creating it.

The location doesn't exist anymore - Dingo intended the video to be the end result - which adds another sentimental angle (given the subject and the song) to the work. 

For my three into one project, I've been trying to come up with new
measurement or a representation of a measurement that would never work, based on
my initial objects, which I've cast (hand boiler), used to made a kinetic sculpture
(measuring tapes) and used to made a wooden sculpture (different types of rulers).

I found a reference to this exhibition, hopefully it'll help me find my way:

Mark Dion's biography on Art:21

Tar and Feathers and Concrete Jungle I

'With some of my work, you can sense that it has a pretty dark tone. As much as
I’m engaged in a discourse that is ecological, I’m not one of those artists who is spending
a lot of time imagining a better ecological future. I’m more the kind of artist who is
holding up a mirror to the present and to the kinds of problems that we have right now.
As much as I would like to have a more utopian sensibility, my sensibility tends to the
dystopian, to the dark side.'
- Mark Dion
