[edit] Abode of Chaos
As a facilitator for the frivolous exchange of art in the context of the new online economy, Ehrmann prospered under the conditions that were granted to him, and subsequently moved his base from Bordeaux and adopted a residence in Lyon where he based his company from. Here he became embroiled in a disagreement with local residents and council as to the decoration of his house, the Abode of Chaos, which he has subsequently pursued in order to seek clarification as to the true meaning of art under French law.

Many people have disagreed with Ehrmann's strategies to promote his online businesses.
