Nice of Dwyer to make his art edible. I expect this to be a stunt. It is exactly the type of thing I did with my friends in art school. We really thought we were edgy. I'm glad no one was there to write a snarky article about it, though there were people there to arrest us.

You can eat paint. You shouldn't, but you can. He also has a court date so that's quite the dedication if it was a stunt.

All the world's a stunt, and all the men and women merely slick

He should have put the printouts on display post-digestion, thus turning himself into a provocative parody of GenAI.
