Coke Is It / 2004 / electrical and miscellaneous parts, rob

[mariomario64]

Did anyone stop and think that maybe this metaphor isnt that obvious? According to these comments, we established that stomach acid is much more acidic than coke. Maybe this demonstration represents the effect sugar -not the acid- from the coke has on our bodies. That would exemplify our destructive nature and our addiction tendencies on a more literal level.

[janerga]

AHAHAHA! Kudos to the one who made that robot, fucking dickwad.

Coke rules.

[duncandrake]

Proudly presented to us by Pepsi?

Besides i find it hard to believe Coke is 2.5 Ph...

Ok, i wont drink coke my dear artist.... i'll have a glass of Barolo wine instead! ;)

[EliteIreland]

2.5 isn't that low for a pH. Your stomach is at around 1. Since the p function is logarithmic, an acid with pH 2.5 is 15 times weaker than your stomach acid.

[duncandrake]

ok.. yes, now i read that coke is around ph 2.5, which is not such a terrible ph.

Not unhealthy unless you drink a bottle daily i guess.

Come on now guys... it's not literally saying drink coke, spit it over your body and it'll burn through your skin and kill you. The voiceover clearly says it's a METAPHOR - it's performance art, not science.

[unseelieturtle]

have a coke and a smile!!

[MitchIsLost]

Thats ridicoulus lmao, DRINK COKE AND YOUR SKIN WILL RIP Our stomach contain acid of about x10 that in coca-cola .

What a waste of 'your' and 'our' time.

[hydraulikz]

this is excessively idiotic! any liquid will do that to that robot

[buddstbs]

It's a pity that our stomach's are made of acid isn't it. Why should we worry about the acid levels in coke and not about the acid already in us?

[jonrev]

Only problem is our bodies aren't paper and our insides aren't robots you fucking nerd.

I want my 2 minutes back.

[jumpinjax2]

Yeah, liquid tends to go through paper. Ever heard that? No?

[Firefly2466]

oh C'om, Orange Juice is so acidic that it would take half the time and attract annoying flying insects ahahahahhahahaha!

[fishamaphone]

I wonder how that robot would fare if instead of Coke(PH of 2.5), the puddles were made of standard, run-of-the-mill stomach acid(PH of 1, meaning more acidic).

OH NO! BY DIGESTING ANY AND ALL FOOD PRODUCTS, YOU CAUSE "ROUTINE DESTRUCTION" TO YOUR BODIES!

EVERYBODY STOP EATING!

[Guinnie]

Coke you be evil Man You de devil Man Coke you is bad

[cheesy9]

retarded.

[samurai1200]

Robot-seppuku...? I'm all about it!

[bovious]

Zzzzzzz

[mrpenbrook]

Whatever.

Of course "the actual benefits of the consumable product" really means "the actual benefits of the consumable product according to the values of the artist, which he naturally assumes to be objectively correct." I hold that it's possible for the consumer to evaluate the "actual benefits" according to his or her own values. In my case the "actual benefits" of drinking Diet Coke are that I enjoy the taste and the caffeine buzz, and that's good enough for me. To each his own.

explica de una forma simbolica ke la cocacola daña tu cuerpo lentamente cuando se acumula en tu estomago( lo que le ocurre a la sombrilla, como una ulcera)y al final, (en caso muy extremo de intoxicacion)petas

[ChilenoCL]

no entendi bien el efecto entre la cocacola y la sombrilla.
