Yes, you read it right. He blew up a Lamborghini Huracan and surprisingly, his efforts did not go in vain.For the unversed, conceptual art, also termed conceptualism, is an art movement in which the idea behind the work is more important than the actual artwork.The used Lamborghini was set on fire to protest against the excesses of crypto capitalism. The artist, who goes by the name Shl0ms, took to social media and informed through a thread that he had blown up a luxury car at an unnamed location in the United States.On sharing a video of the same, Shl0ms wrote, "I $CAR:       + ..".Check out the video here:Shl0ms blew up the car to deliver a "smoldering critique" of crypto’s get-rich-quick culture.
