Someone has been trying to light it on fire.

The 1.5-ton boulder is actually a work of art called Keepalive by Aram Bartholl.

Visitors are invited to make a fire next to the boulder to power up the router in the stone.

Those drives are still lodged in the sides of buildings in New York City.

Its not about easy access, Bartholl toldHyperallergic.
