This is truly bizarre ... and incredible. An artist is creating 999 black wooden boxes that you can buy. Each one has something in it, but you don't know what that something is. If you open the box, you'll find out what it is, but you'll also destroy what the artist intended.

So if you want a mystery black box that you can never open, that's also a piece of art, look no further. I think it's a pretty cool idea. (via Thrillist)

Beware, I ordered my cube over 6 months ago and have not received it. Artist does not respond to my emails. Caveat Emptor!

The artist apparently found out that someone had done this art idea already so he abruptly ended this art project. I believe it was just a reason to get out of doing any more of these cubes simply because it probably took a lot of his time.

I have cube #11 if anyone is interested in purchasing.
