Talk:Hornsleth Village Project

message: Important omission: why exactly is Mr. Hornsleth doing this?  For kicks?  To have a piece of artwork to present? To make a political point?  MrVoluntarist 22:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The article was basically empty when I came here today. But I see now that somehow an anonymous editor deleted nearly the entire article. I undid this edit. I came here after seeing a strange claim made on Facebook: a "photo" on Facebook that said there was something called the Hornsleth Deep Storage Project. Over 28,000 people had clicked Like on that; and some (like myself) will be coming to Wikipedia to find it. The silly photo is found at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=426048587507329&set=a.241405075971682.47251.241392719306251&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf Searching Hornsleth alone redirects to this article. I suggest NOT having the word Hornsleth redirect here, for now (but I have forgotten how to change that). The word hornswoggle comes to mind: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hornswoggle Misty MH (talk) 14:12, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: How do we change the redirect so that it brings up search results instead, or else turns into a disambiguation page? Searching only for Hornsleth in the Search box brings one to this article. However, when I searched for Hornsleth Deep Storage, it brought me to a results page, and from THAT page's OWN sub-Search box, I was able to search for Hornsleth, and get search results. I want to see the redirect turned into search results or a disambiguation page, but don't know how to do that. Misty MH (talk) 14:45, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

text: Clearly this article is related to the artist Hornsleth. And one wonders whether the Facebook photo mentioned above is like tricky spam or tricky self-promotion. I don't know where the "photo" came from (and I didn't look or search), but according to the article or sources, the Hornsleth Deep Storage Project wasn't supposed to launch until the END of 2013, and yet we see a "photo" of the sculpture hanging from a crane over the ocean, as if it is about to be put into the water, to go into the Mariana Trench. The Web site for the Hornsleth Deep Storage Project is at http://www.deepstorageproject.com/ And we see the Deep Storage Project mentioned on the author's Bio page at http://www.hornsleth.com/Hornsleth/Home/Bio I also noticed that the name of the Mariana Trench is spelled "Marianas trench" not only on in the Facebook photo but on the author's site as well at http://www.deepstorageproject.com/Deep-Storage/INTRODUCTION But then, that seems to be an accepted alternate spelling. The trench is like 6-8 miles deep in places. Press articles and such are listed at http://www.deepstorageproject.com/Deep-Storage/MEDIA/Press-Articles (I didn't see the Facebook photo at any of the jpg links there. I didn't search through the Web or PDF links, though.) Will we really see this sculpture lowered 6-8 miles into the trench? (Is that even a good idea??) Such a project would seem extremely expensive. One page did suggest that there were thousands of donors/sponsors/whatever (about or over 5,000), but unless there were some huge gifts or grants, I would imagine that the total amount was only in the tens of thousands of dollars at most. At the Facebook page photo, it says that this is a "vast iron sculpture", and yet it's supposed to last HOW long? so that the DNA of humans and animals can be reconstructed ("bring back to life") if we somehow destroy ourselves?? Iron rusts quickly in water, does it not? So this all seems like a joke, and a silly one at that, one that people are (from reading some of the Facebook comments) taking seriously. Maybe this is all simply tricky promotion of the artist. On the other hand, I wouldn't feel comfortable with human and animal DNA being sent or left anywhere! Well, that was fun, wasn't it. :) Misty MH (talk) 15:46, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
