Destroy This Art is an interactive installation that examines audience agency, impermanence, and the transition between physical and digital space. The directive “DESTROY THIS ART” places viewers in a conflicted position, asking them to either follow the instruction or resist it. A motion-activated camera records each interaction, documenting moments of engagement, hesitation, and refusal.

These recordings are uploaded to destroythisart.com, extending the work beyond the installation and transforming temporary physical actions into persistent digital artifacts. Through this cycle of interaction, capture, and online circulation, authorship shifts and audience response becomes integral to the structure of the piece.

Constructed from industrial materials including metal and LED lighting and installed at floor level, the work evokes a commercial or authoritarian aesthetic. This visual language contrasts with the vulnerability of the command itself, heightening the tension between instruction, choice, and consequence.

Destroy This Art positions participation as both action and record, inviting viewers to consider whether art resides in the object, the system it constructs, or the decisions it provokes.
