Ezekiel 20: 23
To be honest, I did not find this so called "Shock Art" very shocking at all, if anything, it was amusing. I think that there is very little now-a-days that will actually shock a normal person of this generation. With the invention of the internet and the largely uncensored flow of information and media that ricochets from one computer to another in every corner of the earth, there is very little a person with access to the world wide web hasn't seen. From grotesque to simply inappropriate, it can be found on the internet. However, I did especially appreciate the last work that was shown because it made me think of Ezekiel 20: 23. (:

Interesting connection to Ezekiel---but can you explain a little more? Also just because a person has access to the internet doesn't mean they have seen shocking things there. It can be avoided just like shocking art can be avoided- most of the time....
ReplyDeletePeople are capable of avoiding shocking images on the internet just as it is to avoid regular art, however, there is a good chance that one day the gross and offensive images that are floating around cyber space will be considered art. Therefore, any one interested in art will stumble upon them sooner or later and become desensitized just like we are to what is currently considered shocking.
