An artist put goldfish in a blender and asked visitors to turn it on. And then one person... In 2003, a controversial and bizarre "work of art" was displayed at the Trafford Museum in Denmark. It was an "experiment" called "Helena & Pascader" by Chilean artist Marco Eballisti, in which live goldfish were placed in a blender. There were 10 mixers, each filled with water, and a single goldfish swimming around the blades. Visitors had a simple choice: press the large "ON" button and kill the goldfish (for no reason), or leave the button untouched and let the goldfish live. At the time, the BBC reported on the work, describing its purpose as encouraging people to "fight their conscience." Artist Ebaristi said, "This was a protest against what's happening in the world, against the irony and brutality that has permeated this world." If the mixer had been unplugged, this work of art might evoke an important moral lesson, but the "ON" button wasn't just decorative; it actually operated the mixer. Most people didn't press the button, but at least one visitor did, killing two goldfish in quick succession. It was as if they were enjoying the feeling of having "anything they could do. They probably need to arrest that visitor for other crimes that have not yet come to light... 😞
