Shocking Academic Study: Professor Tests Morality By Placing Goldfish In Blenders, Urges Interaction

The British adore their chippy¡ªa beautiful piece of lightly battered fish with crispy yet fluffy, triple-cooked chips. However, blending a living, swimming goldfish into a smooth paste may be taking things too far.

Who is the artist who created this bizarre social experiment?

Marco Evaristti

Chilean artist Marco Evaristti, widely known for his work 'Helena & El Pascador,' exhibited the piece in 2000 at the Trapholt Museum in Denmark. The practicing architect gave each guest a blender filled with water and a solitary goldfish. Visitors to the museum were then given a choice:

1) Kill the fish by pressing the enormous 'ON' button.

2) Don¡¯t

Why was the experiment created?

Evaristti attempted to excuse her actions by saying, "It was a protest against what is going on in the world, against this cynicism, this brutality that impregnates the world in which we live." Despite the fact that most (sane) individuals walked past the unappealing button, at least two goldfish were blitzed into oblivion.

The Museum elaborated on Evaristti's reasoning behind the artwork, saying, "The work is ultimately about a person's journey in the world, in which Evaristti believes there are three types of people: the Sadist, the Voyeur, and the Moralist."

"If a person is a sadist, he or she will press the blender button because he or she is capable of doing so." "Is the person a voyeur, he/she eagerly watches to see if others will press the button?"

What was the result of the social experiment?

"If the person is a moralist, he or she will be enraged by the fact that there is an option to blend fish." "Moreover, the work does not have a single, unambiguous interpretation, but it is possible to seek out the many elements that point to the differences and similarity between the masculine and the feminine."

According to the study, "Goethe's poem, The Fisherman, lay in a cupboard and served as inspiration for the installation on multiple levels. From the fish in danger of being dragged out of the safe water to the fatally seductive mermaid¡ªand the longing for love. Goethe's poem, The Fisherman, sat in a cupboard and served as inspiration for the installation on multiple levels. From the fish at risk of being pulled out of the safe water to the meeting with the fatally seductive mermaid¡ªand the longing for love."
