從上述作品可以發現，環境對個人認知、行為、感受與經驗的影響，一直是藝術家感興趣的主題。Olafur認為無論是參觀美術館或置身公共空間，身體感知都是經驗總體的一部分，然而人們對社會賦予空間的意識形態已然內化，甚至視為理所當，一些對空間的文化框架，更使得我們對異己的包容與排除存在既定的偏見。因此，他企圖讓觀者重新意識到身體感知的主體性，鼓勵人們打破以往對空間全盤接受或者先入為主的觀念，重新思考自身與空間、以至於這個世界的關係。

NOTES - 5 other controversial art in Malaysia that pissed people off

So because it’s a representation of thought, it also goes to say that no one agrees with you all of the time; and so there may be those who’ll like a certain painting, some who’ll hate it, and some who’ll be offended by it. Because, after all, most of us can’t tell a Monet from a Magritte, but what we CAN do is to stand around it and offer an opinion.
But of course, there are also artists who aim to offend or at the very least get a reaction out of their audience. Like with Charlie Hebdo for example, the magazine brought across their commentary on society via cartoons that were offensive on purpose. Even in a local – less extreme – context, Insert# artist Izat Arif (the Fa Qof t-shirt one) has stated that he was “proud” that his piece was removed, adding:
Why art can be so offensive
Actually, the question should be “What is art?” Art can be most simply described as a representation of reality, thought, or emotion put into a physical form such as paint, words, movement, or sculpture.So because it’s a representation of thought, it also goes to say that no one agrees with you all of the time; and so there may be those who’ll like a certain painting, some who’ll hate it, and some who’ll be offended by it.

“The removal of artwork is also an expression of opinion which I respect because freedom of expression works both ways.” – Izat Arif, via The Malaysian Insider
How we see art is a reflection of ourselves
With art being so subjective, we really can’t say if there’s a right or wrong answer to someone’s interpretation of it. However, it’s in how the person interprets it that’s interesting. There’s a local research paper that attributes our tendency to take things literally to a lack of critical thinking. Another is through how a Rorschach test works, by analyzing how a person puts meaning into a random pattern that has no meaning.
