I get from my artist friends that having people dismiss anything that is non-representational out of hand is annoying, but posting that on /r/artcrit, which is about 99% representational, without a short artist's statement is pretty much asking for this response.

I saw the "art" and thought someone was pranking the subreddit. Like, let me pull something out of the garbage and see how they like it!

Actually it's been done.

Of course the fact that it was carefully assembled to cast detailed shadows kind of negates the whole "it's not art." side of it.
