Art - will it blend ?

Evaristti gained notoriety for a museum display entitled Helena in 2000 that featured ten functional blenders containing live goldfish. The display, at the Trapholt Art Museum in Kolding, Denmark, invited guests to turn on the blenders.

This reminds me of an artist who tied a dog in a museum, leting the animal starve to death. There is no doubt that both artist are making "highlighted" points, on whatsoever, but its display is what I condemn. Exploring such violence (not the mesage, but really how they've done it) is neither healthy nor artistic, for me. It is most primitive, "unimaginative", barbaric, as for what i think. I believe we should be able to experience aestheticly these "dark" emotion, but reasonably : )

@cnmaster01 You're not making any sense - unless this kind of 'art' is condemned it will grow and develop - simple.

@richtomes the blenders have been unplugged as you yourself pointed out, there's no cause to champion and no fish is in danger this video is indeed hateful, and to top it off hateful to no end whatsoever. your Cruelty as art video was sympathetic and championed what i might agree is a worthy cause, but this is simply crying over spilt milk look at the related videos and see that there a plenty of people getting away with this with much more ill intent

Cruelty as art. Not art about cruelty, I'm speechless.

@richtomes This is a hateful video.

@richtomes Why make a video such as this if the work of art has already existed for interpretation?
