Selling Stock As Art

from the now-there's-a-plan dept

Think that dot com stock you have is worthless? Well, one company apparently has decided that it's only business is going to be the stock in their own company. They're having famous artists paint designs on their stock certificates, and will then sell them over the web. This, of course, brings up a whole bunch of questions, which mostly aren't answered by the article. They do talk about other art-combined-with-technology ideas that this entrepreneur has done in the past. Overall, it has the feeling of a typical art/technology prank, but the article makes it sound real.
