I don't get the backlash around this show. The audience gets to decide if the painting is destroyed. If you don't want it destroyed you can vote against it.

Also, isnt this a form of art in itself?

That's what I was thinking. KLF style performance art.

Idk. I feel weird about it, but it’s kind of an interesting question to wrestle with. Which is the point, of course.

Similarly, Damien Hirst is doing the same. You can buy a square of dotted paper in physical form, or as an NFT where he burns the paper on livestream as part of a piece testing whether NFTs really are worthless or not.

You mean buy a ticket and fly to Britain to attend the recording of the show in order to get my opportunity to vote on whether a painting by Hitler gets destroyed? Sure, that's easy, I'll get right on that.
