You mean like the display showcasing a starving dog and not allowing viewers to feed the dog until it died to send the message that dogs starve daily and people do nothing about it everyday (or something like that)?

Well I mean like...The Human Centipede.

What you said seems to go beyond pure shock value into outright cruelty. I don't think anyone would argue there's any artistic validity in that at all.

I would say no, but I also don't consider artistic validity to necessarily be the only applicable measure of value. Something can be blatantly art, but still terrible.

Art stops being art when it breaks the law.

Did it make you think "why am I shocked?" "why would this shock others?" or any other introspection... yes, it's art

Now that's not true at all.

Not sure what gives you that idea. For example some Graffiti is really good.
