Art exists solely as it is interpreted by the observer.

In this case, the observer interrupted the art as trash.

Beer can artwork temporarily made interactive.

To be fair, I feel like that’s kind of what the artist was hoping for. Would you be reading about his piece if some Philistine with no concept of what constitutes art hadn’t thrown it away?

This is terrible.

Aluminium cans should have gone in the recycling! ♻️

There was another story like this. The exhibit depicts an after party scene with champagne bottles and other party “trash” everywhere. It was placed in a room. The custodians thought there was a party earlier and promptly cleaned the room.

tbh i would have thrown it away even if i knew it was “art”
