More here and here
A Seattle artist announced today he has completed a project he has been working on for seven years: In February 2002… Sean Miller, purchased George W. Bush’s book A Charge To Keep: My Journey to the White House. He drew a grid on the book, cut “chad-like” rectangles into the cover, removed rectangular portions, recorded the printed words, and slowly ate the paper portions. For the last seven years he has been eating the book and documenting its slow disappearance.

Many artists draw inspiration from museums, but for Sean Miller, founder of the The John Erickson Museum of Art, it was not the masterpieces in the Louvre or MoMA that influenced his work, but the dust that covered them. For more than 10 years, Miller has used microscopy to photograph dust samples from the world's most well known museums for his "Art Museum Dust Collection" project. -CBS News online
