Artists have done some crazy things over the years. From Tracey Emin's disheveled bedroom setup to Shia LaBeouf's 'I Am Not Famous Anymore' routine, it is really fascinating to see what stimulates the artistic mind, and how the ideas they come up with can stretch much further than the canvas and out into the real world. Almost as interesting are people's reactions to these works: some see them as pretentious fluff, others consider them a unique insight into the inner workings of an artist's mind, and others still are completely indifferent. In 2003, an American artist with a history of creative community projects came up with a wild idea that would serve as an extension of his previous works, offer his wide friendship circle something meaningful to work on together, and make a statement. The fact that it had to remain a complete secret didn't seem to dampen the importance of the latter.
