Recursive Pizza



Artist John Riepenhoff and pizza chef Jason Todd made the above work entitled "Physical Pizza Networking Theory." In an interview about it, Riepenhoff said:

Physical Pizza Networking Theory is meant to address the ontology of the social as material in art. Using mise en abyme to illuminate a relationship between the layers of material and our experience, and meta symbolic experience of pizza as a hearth, as meeting point, as cultural convergence, as party, as sculpture, as gift, as collage, as pie, and individuals as ingredients within pieces of a social pie adding up to something greater than their whole in a deliciously simple way. This work of art celebrates the event and temporal moments of art-as-happening, document, and experience. Take a slice, be a part of Physical Pizza Networking Theory.

If you can't paint or sculpt, just produce any old crap and attach an arty-farty meaningless description to it. Job done - you're an artist. Next week, a bowl of peas becomes social commentary on the problems of over-population in the developing world.

I really don't think we should be mining other planets.
I mean, we've overmined and overfished our own planet.
We're at nearly 7.6 billion people.
At some point we must deal with our very real problems, instead of buying NASA Rocks t-shirts and pretending reality isn't real.

Why not use any resources available in our solar system? Have no idea if there are any useful minerals on the moon in quantities large enough to make it worth the effort.
