Review here<\/a>. Frquently asked questions below.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \nQ: \tDoesn’t the first sale doctrine prevent you from collecting further payment past the initial sale of the item?
    \nA: In order to be recognized as a work of art the contract must be
    \nadhered to, and regards of who owns it and who buys it the contract
    \nremains between the artist and the purchaser, not between buyer and
    \nseller. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    <\/p>\n

      \n
    • \nQ: \tWhat means does it use to connect to the Internet ? Wireless or other ?
      \nA: \tIt specifically connect via wired ethernet, and it automatically obtains is IP through DHCP.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nQ: \tIf I were to buy this, how long could I expect to own it before it sells itself again?
      \nA: It is hard to say. Like any commodity it is subject to demand. It
      \ncould be moments or years. The perpetual state of uncertainty and the
      \ninstability of ownership are primary components of the work. <\/li>\n
    • \nQ: How would you handle the contingencies of ebay shutting down\/going
      \nunder? It seems difficult to maintain the “perpetual” state of auction
      \nfor more than a few millennia.
      \nA: The contract and the piece were designed to be platform agnostic to
      \naccommodate for this. If eBay dries up and disappears, then another
      \nplatform, either propriety or public, can be used for the selling. <\/li>\n
    • \nQ: \tWhat happens if the minimum bid is not met for one of the sales?
      \nA: \tIf the minimum bid is not met, then it will repost itself a few minutes after the auction ends.\n<\/li>\n
    • \nQ: \tHow does one use this item? Is there a manual?
      \nA: It is largely automated, but instructions for cleaning, maintenance,
      \netc will be given to the purchaser after the sale. Any necessary
      \nhardware and software maintenance upgrades are the responsibility of
      \nthe artist. <\/li>\n
    • \nQ: Is the owner of the Artwork allowed to bid on it in the auction? If
      \nso, is the owner still bound by clause #10, having to pay the Artist
      \nextra money even without making a profit?
      \nA: Hi. The owner of the Artwork is bound by the structures within which
      \nthe work is being sold, in this case eBay. So bidding on something that
      \none is selling constitutes ‘shill bidding’which is against the rules
      \non eBay. Thanks for the question! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
