Caleb's cube is perpetually connected to the internet and to Ebay, and continually tries to sell itself. Buying it means you might lose it, though you retain 85% of the purchase price, with Larsen getting 15%. So it could make you money.
More to the point, it is an experience in owning art, a way to be a part of a piece of art in a more compressed ownership lineage. Very cool.
Is it a statement on "what we own?" Maybe. I don't really know what it is saying, though. Mostly it seems like a cool experiment. And it looks like it from the set of Logan's Run.
