The Michael Jackson Monument Design Competition, Live Forever, hosted by Archinect.com and Bustler.net, announced its winners last month. In case you were too busy commemorating the King of Pop in your own way, here's a recap:
Baddest: A digital clock that countdowns to the time (aprox. 70 years from now) when MJ's music hits the public domain.
Badder: A gold wind turbine, in the middle of nowhere, which powers a stereo system and dance floor, a la the Billie Jean video. Burning Man attendees, take note.
Bad: A bed installed in the Jackson Casino, which I gather doesn't exist (yet), meant to evoke Jackson's philosophy of communal sleeping, which he memorably articulated during his child molestation trial.
And lastly, my favorite of the ten honorable mentions: Vacuous Tears, a wall display of test tubes filled with fans' tears. A creepy and intriguingly clinical approach to fandom and grief.
