This piece is about the observer effect on the Art. With the advent of post-modern philosophy, the observer's perspective has become much more important, almost to the point where it overtakes the artist's original intent. We no longer look at art pieces and try to discern what the artists were trying to say (since that is ultimately is impossible) but instead look at art to see what we personally can understand and work from there. From this perspective, the observer actually becomes the artist and adds to the piece through his interpretation or negative reaction to someone else's interpretation.
