It is a simple, and intensely effective way of distinguishing good art from bad art, or as philthosa/destruction term “total shit / totally excellent”

The p/d model requires only one art viewer, but the model works most effectively with two participants. Three or more can also participate, but all must be in agreement of the inherent validity and complete accurateness of the p/d model. Conversations that challenge the model whilst it is being implemented serve no purpose apart from revealing the argumentative participant as a “wanker”.

1. Participants begin at the art piece to the furthest left of the art space. If this beginning point cannot be determined, the participants should agree on a randomly determined piece.

2. Participants ponder the piece together in silence for approx 10 seconds.

3. In no particular order, participants should vocalise one of two potential responses, “Yes” or “No”.

4. Participants move to the next piece and repeat steps 2 & 3.

note: If the gallery is jam-packed full of stuff, and it is not possible to look at each individual piece, the participants may rate the entire exhibition with the “Yes” or “No” response.

A “Yes” response may inspire the participants to further engage in cheap wine and annoying conversation.

A “No” response may inspire…..exactly the same thing.
