Yet in reality; it took the city almost two weeks to confirm they didn't actually install it and subsequently removed it before reinstalling

And here I thought it was a social commentary showing us non-homeless folks what it is like to be treated the way we treat them. Nope.

When I hear about something weird and it turns out to be an art exhibit, that's always the most disappointing explanation for some reason.

Because 75% of modern physical media artists create what will get them the most attention, not that which is beautiful or meaningful.

8 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 5

"beautiful" and "meaningful" aren't quantifiable, or easily predictable. "gets you the most attention", on the other hand, really is.

8 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

And if there is one thing art aims at, it's quantifying. Yup

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

? its the artist aiming at that, not art? what? are you ok? anyway artists, like every other human, want recognition for their work.
