I've stated loud and clear on the Scorpio board about the ignorance of this situation ... and how this was the artists aim to point out.
"Sign this if you don't believe it is Art."
Don't sign a petition to STOP an atrocity .. just sign you believe it's art. In other words ... just voice a feeling or opinion but don't do anything about it.
"Vargas, 32, said he wanted to test the public's reaction, and insisted none of the exhibition visitors intervened to stop the animal's suffering."
This artist created a situation in which to prove to people that they are moved on an emotional level .. however, sit back and choose to ignore doing anyting to prevent such atrocities from presenting themselves to their awareness of it .. such as ..
"More than a million people have signed an online petition urging organisers of this year's event to stop Vargas taking part."
The above quote is saying that a million people have signed a petition trying to stop this man from putting in their faces, that which they don't like .. however, a million people have NOT signed a petition from it taking place by this man.
Ignorance is bliss ... if you don't make me aware of it then it doesn't exist and I like this .. I like not being aware .. so let me sign a petition so this man won't be allowed to show me how ignorant I am.
The whole point of this exhibit was to express to us humans that just because we are "moved" with outrage .... we don't do anything about it, though we think we are standing up for a cause, just for this very emotion in itself, because we feel it.
Brilliant artist .....
