My art is rubbish

So for one of my classes i had to do a small art project. I put some emails and short stories through a crappy online translator, to change them from english to dutch, then back to english, then into chinese. This creates a really broken nonsensical chinese piece. Then i made the bad writing paper into oragami, and put the oragami in take away containers and put it in a plastic bag because that was part of my concept. It was meant to be interactive.

We had to display our work on a podium at university in a designated area, so i placed it on monday morning, but when i went back on monday afternoon for another class i realised it was gone, and i checked the bin, and yes, someone had thrown out my art because it looked like rubbish! HA!

I think it's a pretty funny thing to have happened, and works with my overall concept.

Are you going to be scarred for life because your art was misunderstood?
