I don't think you read the article bub. This art has a qr code,
In the coming weeks, reports Artnet News, visitors will be able to activate a QR code near the sculpture and literally ask the “oracle” figure a question. They may then receive an answer from one of several unnamed celebrities, who will take turns answering queries with “mysterious, poetic vagaries"
So it's not about "art" at all, it's about something else entirely.
That just makes that sculpture just that much more hideous and grotesque. The hideousness and grotesqueness of it are truly deeper than the skin of it.
Watch it become an idol. And I mean in the strictest, most fundamentalist sense of that word.
A big, ugly, humanoid Magic 8 Ball that spews prophecy and feel-good words from the Modern Priesthood? Yeah. Oracle. The sheeple will line up for it. Watch for the whackadoodle "religious revelation" stuff if the thing actually attracts the crowd it's meant to.

Oracle, eh? Yeah.
You can read the artist's own word here. Spoilers: Basically, it's there to make the statement that art is racist.

That just makes it even worse. So not only do you get crappy art, but you get celebrities virtue-signaling to you too. Wonderful.
I can't wait for the code to appear on 4chan lmao
this changes EVERYTHING
