This is bad art; both conceptually and because this prose description of it is verbose and boring to read. And because the subject is a Google datacenter, and because the author Dinnis van Dijken is a working artist, I'm concerned that this performance art is motivated by anti-datacenter political sentiment in some way, which I think is generally bad. | ||||||||

Wait, what? I didn't read everything because the writing kind of sucks: It buries the point in details and I didn't feel like going through with a fine comb to find the point. AFAIU: Three artists hired three construction workers to dig random holes at a still un-fenced future Google datacenter construction site. The workers dug while the artists stood nearby doing artist things. Security came, then everyone left. There was much rejoicing. | ||||||||

Why was this pointless "artistic" performance worth describing in so much detail? What a loss of time, both for the author and the readers. | ||||||||
