[lit-ideas] The Central Park Gates Project

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Art News NYC]

Grants Issued for The Central Park Gates

Directly behind the large statue of Robert Burns, about three blocks 
from the Central Park Bandshell, The-Artist-Formerly-Known-as-Timmy 
intends to assemble a 30-meter high statue of Bill Gates.

This monolithic appreciation of Bill Gates, Windows marketer, will be 
constructed entirely from discarded CPUs and monitors fitted with 
Windows 95 and lower.

Monitors forming the statue's anthropomorphic outer shell will display 
full-screen .jpgs of Bill Gates smiling at the viewers and passersby. 
The Collosus' arms, in homage to Raphael's "Academy," will extend upward 
(Plato) and outward (Aristotle).

Periodically, the CPUs running the Bill Gates images will crash and 
reboot, and the assembly will play a modified medley of Windows systems 
sounds.

The Central Park Gates should be completed by August 2008, just in time 
for the apocalypse. Funding will be provided by "The Save a Tree 
Foundation by David Ritchie" and "The Peter, Paul, and Mary Fund for 
Taking Money from Emerging Artists." The-Artist-Formerly-Known-as-Timmy 
is a registered trademark of Steven Jobs for President,Inc.
