[Raak] But can it be considered Art if there is no audience?

Well, in that case the art would be its own audience, which saves a lot of mucking about, really.

[Projoy] stop it, you're making a customer-induced headache many times worse. stop it at once. yes I've been to work this evening, no it wasn't fun.

[Projoy] Hasn't someone done something *very* similar to that before? I seem to recall seeing it...

[Projoy] I presume you would have stood around discussing the visitors to the exhibit.

[Darren] I should think about, say, thousands of people have done something very similar to it. [CdM] Indeed. What else to discuss? It might have been quite funny if we'd been submitted as a portfolio piece and allowed to give the examiner a mark out of ten.

Has anyone done the "art" of having an empty room, getting hired people to stand around in this room looking at and discussing the pieces of art that aren't really there and then letting the public come in and be slightly bewildered?
