On: Arturo Di Modica has a point

Imo: remove the plaque at least. No free advertising space. Maybe have a vote to keep the statue.

I like this way of thinking.

Additonally, I would say that the bull statue has well and truly earned its place. It is now an established piece of art: it has been subverted.

Art and history are inexorable. Removing the plaque would merely change the asthetic.

[akvadrako → rl3]

And your point is?

[rl3 → akvadrako]

That the statue was still created as a corporate advertisement, regardless of whether the plaque is present.

[louisswiss → rl3]

A lot of great art was originally sponsored/commissioned by wealthy corporate benefactors (for example the Catholic Church and nobility in 15th century Italy).

I think it's important that the beholder/public in general is aware of the providence of a piece of art, yet I doubt banning corporate sponsorship of art would be a net positive for society.

[rl3 → louisswiss]

It certainly wouldn't be, though in this particular case it could be argued that corporate sponsorship renders the work tasteless.

And Vault is supposed to be a super secure root of trust. Hmm...

Damn, I was planning on using Vault eventually. This attitude towards security gives me pause about put all my secrets into it. Is there any alternatives?
