Curator’s Worthlessness Rating8/10 — Impressively Futile
Estimated ValueEmotionally complicated
Fictional ProvenanceInstalled during a brief period of optimism about firmware and beverages.
Curator's NoteThe app still requests Bluetooth access with the politeness of a ghost.
Editorial museum satire. The provenance and acquisition story are fictionalized. Composite of neutral mug silhouette and app-like archival label.
Acquisition Note
The mug cracked. The account remained.
