Yeah - I had a negative reaction to this in 2011, if anything it’s only soured more in time (and the artist seems even less aware of why people hated it or why he was investigated).
It’s also the low quality (imo) type of art that does a disservice to the rest. Like the blank canvas art hung in the SF MOMA, it’s the stuff you roll your eyes at and ignore.
A lot of the art at RPI was like that.
They should have prosecuted him, maybe then his lawyers could have explained to him why what he did was wrong.
