Occurred to me that the original premise of the project centered around engagement by the public; holding up a mirror (camera) to the people

This is a cool idea, but problem for LeBouef is he lives in a world where a lot of people disagree with him, + they'll take the stage too
-
So you had pro Trump people and also trolls showing up. And immediately the artist betrays his art because he doesn't like its revelation!
-
Another way of saying this is that the problem for LeBouef is that HWNDU is **Popperian** art. The premise is a risky prediction!
-
In the sense that LeBouef imagined it to be true, HWNDU was falsified. Pretending that's not the case betrays the premise. . . . I think.
-
A (related?) idea, semi-via
@Shipoclu: LeBouef fucked up by trying to control how others viewed and interpreted his art. He invited public \ -
participation and interest, then tried to control that participation with post hoc demands. "You may not use my art and ideas that way!"
-
In this way maybe you can view anti-HWNDU antics as the subversion of LeBouef's attempts at artistic authoritarianism. Which seems good.

it's not wrecking, it's making it into dynamic, participatory art. Dynamic, participatory, Egyptian frog god worshipping art
-
also known as the best kind of art, apart from Bernini statues.

yeah I think I pretty quickly reached conclusion further down that 'wrecking' a bad word choice + you're generally right ^^

It might be because of the sheer amount of added value the hunt brought to the whole thing
