Splashing the art: will it trigger the (right) change?

Help me someone to understand. What did the long-time deceased Gustav Klimt, Vincent van Gogh, Andy Warhol, Johannes Vermeer, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci or Claude Monet do to infuriate the eco activists so much that they spill oil, soup, mashed potatoes and other liquids on their artworks? Didn't they paint on a recycled paper or did they heat their ateliers with coal stoves? Ah! - they target them to initiate a change, you say?

When you want to make a certain change, you need to identify the right causality chain. And pick those actions that have a direct impact on your objective.

Now, I tried really hard, but I just cannot see any direct link between damaged artworks and CO2 emissions. I even doubt that any government or individual will switch to electric cars or power the lightbulbs via solar panels just because(!) they will be so scared of another splash. Despite the environmental protection is a serious topic with all due respect, this causality does not seem to work.

But I can see another consequences of this spilled liquids. More restrictions in the museums and galleries. Limited access to admire the works of art and educate the new generations. Perhaps even hiding the originals in safes and showing only replicas. Let's hope they will be printed on a recycled paper then...

Whenever you want to change something, just make sure you know what you are doing, please ...
