Imagine being lost in the desert and this is what you stumble across

Oh thank god...civilization!

Dies next to sculpture in the middle of nowhere.

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said: “Six small and crackling speakers of plastic

Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered ipod lies, whose scroll wheel,

And cracked screen, and battery of little charge,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal these words appear:

“Our name is Toto, band of bands:

Listen on our works, ye Mighty, and despair!”

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that pocket-sized wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

If Toto's classic "Africa" plays on a loop in the desert but nobody is around to hear it, does it still make a sound?

Yes because I hear the drums echoing tonight

It will take 100 men or more to find this art installation

I sort of expected some kind of weather-proofing... nope, it's an iPod with some shitty solar pads and a couple pairs of $20 computer speakers all on Ikea-quality-looking pedestals.

Just imagine you're lost in the desert. You find a sign of life. You can hear music. You get excited and rush up only to find an mp3 player and some speakers playing Africa on loop.

Putting a song about blessed African rains on permanent loop in the middle of an African desert is some next-level shade-throwing.

I remember walking down an empty street once at 3am and hearing Guru Josh's Infinity playing from somewhere in a huge construction site...that was the most surreal experience, but I feel like hearing Africa on loop in the middle of an African desert would be like that times 1000!

Is Toto getting paid royalties if no one is there to listen?

Sounds like much Toto about nothing

Why did he use such a shitty setup tho

Stumbling accross it must felt like some videogame easter egg putted by the dev for no reason. I imagine someone trying to figure out the why and how and moving the speakers or something to clear the riddle as if some chest or door will magically appear.

So you can litter and call it art? Reminds me of the artist who literally starved a chained dog for his “art.”

I bet he just packed up his iPod and speakers after taking all the press photos and videos. “The idea is the art, man.”
