Art Tracking Module 002: GPS tracks where the art goes

Living in New York, we're not at all above taking unfinished art up off the street and giving it a home on empty walls—if it's good, that is. Looks like some Ade Lun Sec and Peter Robinson had an idea about that and decided to see what exactly would happen to a piece of art left in Dolores Park in San Francisco. They called the experiment Art Tracking Module 002, named for the Trimtrac GPS transponder the hid behind the piece, which let them watch the art move all the hell over the city for three days before finally landing at a lumberyard. They then posted fliers all around the lumber yard with an image of the art and a notice letting them know that they'd been a part of a "social experiment." Oh, you crazy artists and your social experiments on us poor, unsuspecting proletariats.
