Self-confidence Produces Fine Results, Banana Wall – by Stefan Sagmeister

Self-confidence Produces Fine Results, Banana Wall - by Stefan Sagmeister
Banana Wall, 10,000 bananas and glue – Now, when I first saw this image it didn’t do much for me, though I did enjoy a couple photos of other pieces.  What made me feature this piece was the discussion surrounding that has begun to swell around it on the internet. Some of the discussions include is it or is it not art, what a waste of food that could have fed the hungry, etc.  The one that interests me most is the  discussions fueled by the anger of the wasted of food. I guess it just shows how socially aware everyone is becoming and that to me is exciting.  Anyway, what do you think?
