Packaged Nothingness

The following is an excerpt of an email sent from Art to the group on 21 May 2015.

I also like the idea of selling packaged nothingness. Still with the "Made in Detroit" label.

I'm for truth in advertising, so it would have to be advertised as nothing, but could there be a better symbol for our project? All packaging, no substance; all pro- and postscenium, no scenium. As Farthington puts it, "Tunnels within tunnels means an infinitude of nothing! And that's a good thing."

Maybe it claims to be part of the black hole that is slowly widening around the lodestone.

Also the Schrödinger's cat and many worlds concept. If you want, you can take off the packaging to find out what's inside. Or you can just leave it in its package. And what disposition toward the inscrutibility of life is suggested by your choice? Maybe we could use the old creepypasta trope that by opening this you will unleash something awful on the world. Like whoever is in the Sea Devil suit will come get you. Or a black hole will start opening in your life--literally or figuratively.

Or nothing.

I leave the rest of you to determine how to best interpret a box of nothingness from Detroit.

I'd want a box of nothingness from Detroit. Or a piece of trash.
