I second this. I think art has the effect of starting conversations. If it makes people talk and think about things in a different way, then, you've started a process of something (potentially) greater.
Yes, something like this is easy for people (easier than doing something perhaps). They'll participate because it's there and there's no commitment (you just write things on the wall). But, what of the people who pass by it and, as Dysiode has said, what if it sparks an idea in them?
It may not directly change the world but it sure can plant the seeds that do.
