If they just destroyed some fake money would it have such a powerful response?
For me it makes me think about spectacle, attention, what gets people's eyes on something. It gets your attention therefore it has worth. It might be "art" because people talk about it or hate it. If we don't like it should we not pay attention to it?
Like those anti oil protestors, the aim is not to stop oil or disrupt people, it's to get attention to their cause. Thinking more widely this leads me to think about how there's a whole portion of the economy that is devoted to attention.
