It's Art: James Franco In A Space Suit Destroying Artwork

Every now and then, The Creators Project comes across an artwork that surprises and delights us—every bit as much as it totally confuses us and otherwise has us begging for answers. This is art that defies conventions, challenges sensibilities, and breaks the walls down between around both critique and understanding. You might like it—you might not "get it." But we do. Turn on, take a deep breath, and just remember: it's art!

Multidisciplinary contemporary artist Daniel Arsham "makes architecture do things it is not supposed to do, mining everyday experience for opportunities to confuse and confound our expectations of space and form." For his latest exhibition, Welcome to the Future, Arsham filled an archaeological site with old and dead technologies (boomboxes, VHS tapes) sculpted from earthly materials including obsidian and volcanic ash.

Since December, Arsham has been hard at work on Future Relic, a nine-part series of videos that details the artist's predictions for the future. Future Relic 02, released yesterday, features James Franco destroying Arsham's objects in various ways, while wearing a silver space suit. Details on the film are minimal, so check out the film above, and stills below, and see if you can explain it for yourself.

Below, check out Future Relic 01:
