Since when have explosives beome artistic, & in general have some so called artists overstepped the mark?

I think this kind of thing is interesting, and sometimes looks good. But I don't think it should be considered "artistic." The idea of a carrot bomb actually made me laugh, and it's something I would love to see, but I wouldn't call whoever made it an artist based on that.

This kind of thing is a bit of a hit-and-miss act. People do totally random stuff, and sometimes it makes you think, sometimes it just doesn't. Then they always use the go-to excuse that you "don't get it."

It's luck. For instance, someone who talks a lot is bound to occasionally come out with something deep and thought-provoking. It's nothing to do with their thinking ability. Just like these people chuck out a load of random stuff and sometimes they do get it right. That's not art. To me, an artist is someone who persistently tries to do well, to out-do himself, and usually succeeds.

I look ahead of my and there's a calendar with nothing on it. I could probably take a picture of it and say it represents the emptiness of our lives nowadays and no doubt some off-their-head critic somewhere would say it's great art. But it would be utter mince.
