Though the art piece was unveiled only on 15 January 2009 there appeared
already a very critical article on Wikipedia
<_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropa_
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropa>>. Fortunately freedom of
expression is also an issue this side of the ocean, and though peoples
and governments feel sometimes a bit disturbed, to say the least, it
still hangs.
This cartifact at 2,760 sq ft is a bit too large to acquire, but I'll
include it in my "A phenomenology of cartifacts"
<_http://persons.kb.nl/jsmits/cartifact/intro.html_
<http://persons.kb.nl/jsmits/cartifact/intro.html>> under the paragraph
with the Gorilla cartoons and the "Sad Globe".
