This is Douglas Edric Stanley's 'Space Invaders/World Trade Center piece'. He came under fire recently from people who took offence to the piece, and himself felt the need to explain it, kind of sad, as half the point of this type of work is to find a definition about it yourself.
Anyway, here it is, incidentally, Taito have bounded in and is whineing about interlectual infringment, to be fair, I point granted, however Space Invaders is iconic....

Since sept 11, the govt. and everyone in support of them have been using 911 as an excuse to disregard international laws, destroy habeus corpus, destroy Miranda, start illegal wars, torture, rendition etc....but when it comes to using 911 as an art exhibition, all of a sudden its immoral and should be taken down ?
Pretty ironic..
generaly i think its cheep and unemjanative to siply use something thats contraversual as a platform to drive atnetoin to your peace of art,
allso this looks realy badly exicuted
Art is made to make people question. If you look at "art" and feel indifference, the artist is not doing their job.
And yes, even shock value art is still art, cause it raises consciousness and discussion.
its like if i was to draw a happy face on some skin i cut of a dead person as a statment.
art is a matter of the artists intentoins and judging by the outcome of this and how the artist had know idea as to what would happen shows he did not put that mutch thought into his art or maby is not exactly a gr8 thinker.
