If you want to make an art piece exposing how much violence happens in our society, you don't do that by acting violently yourself. If you do that, you're not an artist exposing a societal wrong, you're the perpetrator, and should be persecuted for it.
Seriously, how would you feel about your picture, secretly taken without your consent in a setting you had reasonable expectation to be private, ending up in this art installation?
- brainless 5y agoI think you do not understand. The artist wanted the show what is already happening, just something we are simply not protesting about in masses. Like the level of such hidden information grabbing is massive, but what do we citizens care? The photo had an effect, which bits and bytes are not having. Yes the artist did something totally illegal and should be prosecuted. Who is going to prosecute the governments? I like your strong emotions and fail to understand why you do not see this is exactly what the artist hopes will happen - more emotional take on the current situation.
- Nitramp 5y agoIf you want to stress that [a certain crime] is already happening, I do not think it's an acceptable form of expression to commit [a certain crime] yourself, on unwitting victims.
