I’m not sure how I feel about this, but I’m so surprised that I have to post it.
The story is like this: Bart Jansen had a tomcat. His name was Orville. Orville was ran over by a car. So he became the Orvillecopter.
Bart didn’t say good-bye to Orville and transformed him into this art/kitsch/tech/i don’t know what piece that was recently presented at the KunstRAI art fair.
The Orvillecopter is remote controlled. The Animal party condamened this. I don’t. I just cannot figure out how I feel about it.
UPDATE: I decided. I find something bitter-sweet about it. A bit creepy. A bit cool. He loved him so he transformed him. And he can fly, that image is so unexpected that it’s all worth it! I’d be always afraid that if it falls, it will hurt him.
See the video at the end of the post.
