I vote that the greatest art project on this list was Joe
Monzo's "Solar System Chord" where we watched and listened to him
stay up all night on a weekend with continuous postings and then,
finally, he came up with a slightly bizarre-sounding major chord.

In fact, that's probably the best "interactive art project" I have
yet seen on the Internet in general, not only on *this* list...

Wouldn't that be a nomination?

I nominate all the postings to all the Tuning lists,
from the Mills era right up to all the bracnches
of the current list as performance art.

It's a "happening" man.

***I was too. But, seriously, the *interactive* nature of this
medium *can* be seen as some kind of interactive artwork in some
cases... I would post this over on *metatuning* but who wants to go
over there?? :)

David's joke in the first place... :)
