999 handmade, sealed, and black lacquered cubes have been constructed to each hold very different objects inside--only to be revealed if the owner chooses to destroy the box (that's a no-no). The Black Cubes is an art project that plays with human curiosity. The project evolves when all 999 cubes are sold and the artist reveals the next step, which has something to do with the mystery objects enclosed in the boxes...and the only way to be a part of it is to cash in. The numbered cubes, at least the remaining 929, are priced according to their order, so the higher the number, the higher the price.
His website (before he took it down) said that he discovered someone had already come up with the 'black cube' idea. Maybe he was just tired of doing this project, seeings how he hadn't even made all 999 black cubes.
I have cube #11 if anyone is interested in purchasing.
I ordered a cube in the fall of 2007.. it took far longer than the shipping time to receive the cube. I sent him an email and he responded weeks later when he had finished making and shipping the cube. All 999 are not actually built yet, i'm not sure if he waits to build them as they are ordered or if he has random ones built..
He seems to be on a strange hiatus... his website has not been updated since october 2007..
order at risk i guess.
