I think there may be a physical aspect to this piece that is lost without the ability to move in relation to it, without shots from multiple angles, or a video.

I agree; I've noticed that with art like this a big part of the experience is being able to take in a lot of different angles and decide how to view it. I never thought Jackson Pollock paintings were interesting in photos, but when I got to see one in person the texture and depth from different angles made it a totally different experience.

I never really understand art like this. It's unique, and interesting, and fun to look at, but it's really not that special unless I'm missing something.

It's just random shapes, and a unique set up. Like cutting the apples and fruit in certain ways.

Just seems like a lot of work for something to look at for 3 seconds since there's nothing else to it.

Not all art needs to be a meta-commentary on the duality of man. Sometimes art can just be cool shapes.

It's probably better in 3d
