Art is what is the difference b/w eroticism and pornography?famously subjective.

All that being said, a newly unveiled art installation by British artist David Hockney in London certainly seems to have united people.

The Hockney commission is part of the larger £7 million "Let's Do London" campaign announced on Monday, which aims to bring local tourism back to the capital — following the lifting of nationwide lockdowns — through a series of events and art installations. As well as the the Piccadilly Circus sign, Hockney has also created video artwork for the large light screen outside the station, while designer Yinka Ilori is working on a series of streetscape commissions for the city.

The idea is to throw the spotlight back on London, and — although maybe not for the reasons intended — Hockney's Piccadilly Circus work has certainly done that.
