Think with the Senses, Feel with the Mind

It is suggested that this work might fall into the category of 'propagandistic obscenity' Your thoughts about such a category ?

A work of art that only aims to affect – to scare, disgust, teach a political lesson – is doomed to be a kind of negative kitsch. It prescribes emotion: the observer has to be moved, disturbed. There is very little room for the observer himself in such a staging – everything is determined in advance, it's a predictable play of irritation and reaction. At worst, the observer doesn't respond at all, or yields to indifference. Who cares - the world is already overshadowed, ruined, lost.
