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.

Some people just want to watch the world scratch its head in bewilderment.

This reminded me of a glass artist named Josh Simpson who is known for his glass spheres he calls “planets” that have amazingly complex scenes in them. For over two decades he’s had what he calls the “Infinity Project” where he encourages people to hide them out in the open where folks are unlikely to find one. If you submit a proposal to him that he likes then he’ll send you two of his smaller planets, one for you to hide and one to keep for yourself.

That's so beautiful and amazing! Love it. I'll have to think of a proposal to send him

Suspicousmaxxing to gaslight the authorities and waste their time is a very wholesome thing to do

Click "CC" in top right for closed captions, then click gear, ask it to change the captions to auto translate to English. Basically she's saying there's a guy dressed in a silly outfit (in video) walking around and no one knows why. Some people are scared.
