Possibly. I'm always wary of people defining what is Art

But hey we watch people like this all the time its called Big Brother and its on Channel 4.

If its a protest at the cruelty and hypocrisy of zoos then I'm for it.

Otherwise its a stunt but hey it'll draw tourists so as long as it breaks even why not?

Big Brother isn't art. Its a collection of self centred wannabees watched by a significant, (sad) proportion of the population many of whom are only watching in the hope that they see people having sex live. It cannot be seen as contributing anything worthwhile when the group being observed know exactly what they are doing and have indeed planned their strategy ahead. How can these people be seen as representing an "ordinary" random group of people when they are all simply there for the big prize - fame?

Oh boy am I glad I don't watch big brother.

Big Brother certainly isn't art but it has some sort of bizarre attraction for the great unwashed. Perhaps it's like holding a mirror up for chimps - they stare into it and can't comprehend that it's a reflection of their own squalid reality. I can't imagine that anybody watches it in the hope of seeing folk having sex because witnessing any of the freaks on the program actually copulating would be a stomach churning experience. Can you imagine George Galloway on the job? Anyway You Porn is the preferred place for voyeurs if they don't already have a collection of adult DVDs.

Now I am really glad I don't watch big brother, I could be called a great unwashed. And I use deodorant and everyfing
