看一副普通眼镜如何成为艺术品

 Some teens from San Francisco caused quite a spectacle (sorry) when they placed a pair of glasses on the floor of an art museum recently. Unsure what to make of it, bemused visitors did the only thing they could think of – they thought it was a piece of art and starting taking photographs of them.

这事儿最近发生在旧金山，一群十几岁的孩子在一个艺术博物馆参观的时候，他们把一副眼睛放在了地上，结果接下来“壮观”的事情发生了。不明真相的参观者因为不知道这到底是啥，于是只能认为这是一件艺术作品了……接下来，他们就开始对着这幅眼镜拍拍拍。

The pranksters – Twitter users @TJCruda and @k_vinnn – decided¹ to pull the stunt² after being left unimpressed by the art on offer at San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art. And within minutes of placing the glasses on the floor, a crowd of onlookers³ had gathered to ponder the metaphysical meaning of this piece of modern “art”. One of the teens, 17-year-old T.J. Khayatan, documented the public’s response and later uploaded pictures of the hilarious⁴ experiment to Twitter. Needless to say, they soon went viral and have since been shared over 40,000 times.

当天的经过是这样的，在旧金山现代艺术博物馆，推特上的两个网友@TJCruda和@k_vinnn在参观完展出后，因为觉得没什么特别有意思的作品，于是决定来一次恶搞。把眼镜放在地上几分钟后，参观者成群结队地在这件“现代艺术作品”旁边思考其隐喻含义。17岁的T.J. Khayatan把参观者的反应记录了下来，之后这些照片放在了推特上。你能想到的，照片很快就被疯转了4万次。
