I guess all it takes is an art student who's leaning into the self-promotion, and some "news" sites like Vice, PopSci, etc., that really want you to click on their links.

I mean, he has some other work that's not bad, and it got me to look at his website, so mission accomplished I guess. But it did leave me with the feeling that it's a bit narcissistic to hype something that's such a well-known, decades-old shtick, without acknowledging that. Maybe it's a useful quality in an artist... but it's not a necessary one.
