There's an obvious nod here to Marcel Duchamp's Air de Paris ('50 cc of Paris Air') from 1919: something that I referenced in the Sshhh chapter of the upcoming Reverberations book.

45g of Silence by Mads Hagstrøm
45g (1.5oz) of pure silence sealed in a can for just $19.14 at FLOWmarket. (The 'Next Generation Luxury' company also sells cans of self-esteem, compassion, intimacy and 'God'.) Design by Mads Hagstrøm.

Lise Malinovsky postcard
An obscure item in the gift shop at the Statens Museum for Kunst (the National Gallery of Denmark) was the above postcard. It's labelled as being a work by Lise Malinovsky titled 'Det Skjulte Maleri'.
The front features a grey surface with only the tiniest variations in the print noting some very feint markings: the only clue that it has actually been manufactured with an "image" on it. Very minimal, yet different enough to stand out when displayed amongst the more well known miniature reproductions of the Rembrandts, Picassos and Titians.
