Cool Art - Onethousandpaintings.com
onethousandpaintings.com is an artproject that has recently received massive media coverage. On May 30th and 31st 2006 alone, 322 paintings have been sold - most probably the highest number of unique, handmade paintings sold on the internet within such a short time.
One number, one painting - the number is the art is the limit is the price. Each of the one thousand paintings is unique, showing a number between 1 and 1000. This is an experiment of art and mathematics, on the web, the first of its kind.
The value of each painting is defined by its number (value = 1000 - number). The earlier you buy, the more you save.

The statement is that this can be done in this web world we live in. The power of leverage it creates on the internet. I am not sure if you can call it art really in a sense. It is more of a movement.
I personally liked this artistic value better of this guy: http://www.thousandlotsofsand.com
equally crazy, but gosh, having that piece of Caribbean sand on my freezing wall is awesome.
