I think the great thing about "art" and its projects is what happens to you the artist. What is happening, and rightly so, with this hydrant thingy is that I am having to pay attention to something I otherwise wouldn't. Isn't the only function of art to make you see,or rather to remember to look . This is demonstrated to me through the hydrant gig. I am now seeing these hydrants, specifically and generally, that I would of otherwise have overlooked before. This is what it is all about, art must be a bridge between the world and the viewer. There is some work involved on the part of the spectator its true. There is though a huge difference between being able to see something and actually making the smallest active effort to do so. That difference can literally be everything.
