Did they pull the plug? I was under the impression that it was done halfway on purpose.


It apparently malfunctioned. He posted a video on Instagram of it a few days later of practice run that fully shredded it with a caption saying something like "worked in rehearsal"


It’s interesting how the malfunction itself created a very unique work of art depicting a moment suspended in time.


The work is actually back at auction now, with a significantly higher estimate than its original sale price.
