I don't think you have to worry about that ☺️

If prisoners are not given the right to vote, there exists no good reason for them to want to reform. We must encourage the rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-criminals into society else we are doomed to find that they will reoffend again and again.
Treat someone like a criminal and they will have no choice but to act like it.
Nah. This is inherently flawed, because much like the present system, an intercept can be inserted at any point in the hierarchy to favour the rich and mighty.
Ah yes, the classic take: your anecdotal experience is conclusive evidence.
You're missing the point entirely. It's supposed to make you feel emotional, and to give you the opportunity to challenge those feelings and understand where those emotions are rooted.
Art is all about challenging your preconceptions, and yet you can't seem to get over your preconception that art itself is worthless lmao
Absolutely. The number of people in the comments who have missed the whole point of this piece is staggering.
It's performative endurance art. Marina was very much hoping and intending to make a statement on the human condition and the flexible limits of our morality. The audience played their part perfectly.
I know that some of you are outraged at the whole thing, but remember that art can't hurt you, the viewer. Art is supposed to make you feel things. And subsequently, you should have sufficient emotional intelligence to analyse and challenge those emotions and the ethical and moral preconceptions they stem from.
Art's raison-d'être is to challenge ethical and moral preconceptions. You seem to have missed the core value of this performance.
Immoral art can't hurt you, the viewer. It's supposed to make you feel emotional. You should have the emotional intelligence to question those feelings and come to an understanding of why the art in question made you feel that way.
Marina went through the effort and hassle of putting on this piece, and yet still its purpose has completely eluded you.
Well, yes, but the reality is that the crowd-sourced aspect of it is what protects you. But you're right, there's always an element of risk!
That's actually very interesting and reassuring. Thank you very much indeed for the insight–I can continue to use Proton in peace.
Yeah, that's how I understood it too.
I don't share your idealism, friend, but I admire you for it.
