Now THIS is art of a very high caliber, indeed!
It was just a public visual detail that elicited a stupid response from the very stupid people, and probably some delight from the rest of the population.
If I was one of the chief stassi goons in town, my response would have been "counter-intelligence art" or "counter-art", painting MORE stones purple and even other colors, so that whatever secret message the original ones were conveying would be confused, drowned out.
Can't all visual art and performance art be boiled down to "just a public visual detail that elicited a stupid response from the very stupid people, and probably some delight from the rest of the population"?
After many years the stasi suddenly realise they have created the worlds largest pride celebration.
Mission accomplished.
