Ahgg, no, don't use degradable anything, please! This is a librarian speaking! The sphere sounds good, tho it would be hard, perhaps, to get a label to stick well to it. Have to use "permanent" labels, I guess. And be big enough to hold that CD.

Yes, this is a great idea - I have been developing a web site for several years (it unfortunately always get shuffled to the bottom of a to do stack ) called Art Object with a site of its own making - which is an online development forum for
collaboration, development design and even production of multiples.

Yes indeed good idea/ possibility - do yo know about the new biodegradable styrofoam? Maybe we can use containers out of this - i hear that over time even the humidity in the air will cause them to breakdown - a self timer to destruction, just like
life. . . . Or for me the idea of using the box as an interactive item which the owner is instructed to use, modify or change is really interesting.
