You are utterly delusional.

Can’t believe that’s the pricing these days. Good grief, the poor tax is real…

Worth £10.98 lmao how arbitrary

Oh you 😅

Taking my son to the zoo tomorrow! Don’t think he’s going to get any sleep tonight, he’s so excited, bless him 😅

My OH is terrible for this. She’ll lick her fingers and touch everything without washing her hands, it’s disgusting.

PowerToys is very much live and available for download. I use it daily.

Talk about irrelevant, good grief.

I don’t think you have to worry about that ☺️

Ah yes, the classic take: your anecdotal experience is conclusive evidence.

You’re missing the point entirely. It’s supposed to make you feel emotional, and to give you the opportunity to challenge those feelings and understand where those emotions are rooted.

Art is all about challenging your preconceptions, and yet you can’t seem to get over your preconception that art itself is worthless lmao

Absolutely. The number of people in the comments who have missed the whole point of this piece is staggering.

It’s performative endurance art. Marina was very much hoping and intending to make a statement on the human condition and the flexible limits of our morality. The audience played their part perfectly.

I know that some of you are outraged at the whole thing, but remember that art can’t hurt you, the viewer. Art is supposed to make you feel things. And subsequently, you should have sufficient emotional intelligence to analyse and challenge those emotions and the ethical and moral preconceptions they stem from.

Art’s raison-d’être is to challenge ethical and moral preconceptions. You seem to have missed the core value of this performance.

Immoral art can’t hurt you, the viewer. It’s supposed to make you feel emotional. You should have the emotional intelligence to question those feelings and come to an understanding of why the art in question made you feel that way.

Marina went through the effort and hassle of putting on this piece, and yet still its purpose has completely eluded you.

Bless you.

Well, yes, but the reality is that the crowd-sourced aspect of it is what protects you. But you’re right, there’s always an element of risk!

That’s actually very interesting and reassuring. Thank you very much indeed for the insight–I can continue to use Proton in peace.

Yeah, that’s how I understood it too.

Oh, 100%. In any other context, consent is–or should be–an ongoing event. I’m just not sure that applies in the context of endurance art.

Because when you invite someone over, there’s the additional context that they are your guest and should behave as such.

During this performance art piece, that additional context does not exist. The only context is that provided by the artist, which did not set such limits.

I don’t believe it was, not for the original performance. Or have I misunderstood that?
