Banana split: artists set for court battle over who first taped fruit to wall

I'm pretty sure the first person to tape fruit to a wall was the person who invented tape. Probably went something like this.

Tape Inventor, "Hey come look I have this strip that allows me to stick anything to anything."

Doubter comes and sees several things taped to a wall, "You're playing a joke you just stapled them there"

Tape Inventor, "No watch this, hand me that banana"

While I agree almost anything can be art because it's so subjective. Hopefully some judge smacks some sense in to the art community that not everything is protected art simply because you believe you were the first to market it. What's next lawsuits over the first taping of a zucchini to a wall?

I, too, have art. I share it here:

Tape two identical, gigantic, inflatable, plastic, mass-produced, Uighur-manufactured, eggplant emoticon replicas to the wall. The artwork is to be installed in 69 low-rent art galleries simultaneously, at 4:20 local time. The art shall be titled in 72pt lettering for easy reading, “Mountain Out of Molehills” with small text. “mixed media, moistly, 2022.”

Edit: 66.6% of all profits to be donated to non-religious homeless charities serving the gallery’s local community.
