Response to Stealing the Mona Lisa

Have you ever felt someone was looking at you?
Yes when you look and see someone looking at you and then you make awkward eye contact and both look away. I think this is similar with artwork with eyes except when you make eye contact with it it doesn't look away and you are also want to keep looking.

What do you think of Leader's argument?
I think that he makes an interesting argument. I understand what he is saying about an image looking at you but instead of feeling like an image is looking back at me I feel more like it is a good image that is catching my eye. I thought I was really interesting that when pieces of art are vandalized that it is usually the eyes that are destructed first.

Do you make images to distract people?
Yes I think in a way thats why we all create images, to give people something to look at distracting them from whatever they were looking at before. I want to make images that stand out against other images.
