That still doesn't make it aesthetically interesting or contemplative. It's a cool project about an important topic! I haven't disagreed with that once. I just don't see how it can be art.
I wasn't quoting you but an actual piece of art I saw a decade ago in Art Basel that made fun of people pretending something is not art for any reason they can think of, including that their kid would be able to produce it.
It doesn't really fit in this conversation because that's an attack on the quality and value of a piece of art, which is not at all what airstrike is talking about.
It's not that the photos are the art, it's the whole project to get people to change these images, posing for them, etc.
