An Italian artist, Salvatore Garau, has sold an “invisible sculpture” for a whopping $23,500 (US$18,000).
Garau said the Io Sono (I am) sculpture is made from “air and spirit”, exists like a “vacuum” and does not take any material form.
“The vacuum is nothing more than a space full of energy, and even if we empty it and there is nothing left, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, that ‘nothing’ has a weight,” he said.
“Therefore, it has energy that is condensed and transformed into particles, that is, into us.”
Garau said the piece can be explained in the way humankind creates a shape for “a god we’ve never seen”.
“Rather than invisible sculptures, I would define them as immaterial sculptures. My fantasy, trained for a lifetime to feel differently the existing around me, allows me to ‘see’ what apparently does not exist,” Garau said.
“The intangible sculptures are works that I feel as physical. Into the void there is a container of positive and negative possibilities that are constantly equivalent, in short, there is a density of events. “

Damn - and I thought I had a monopoly on walking out of Bunnings holding an invisible box in my hands, and saying to the door staff that I was stealing a box of compressed air...

Bastard's been watching me.... snake...  gutter snake...

Then there's tie invisible cat in the officer's mess - sit on it and you buy the entire mess a round at the bar...

'Trekkies' will no doubt get this one straight away.

I will start telling my friends that I have all sorts of invisible things. 

That must be what I stubbed my toe on. I'll Sue.
