This type of art is the original "rage bait". It's not about the piece but people's reaction to it. In other words, WE are the art intended to be viewed for an emotional response.

art will be judged for what it stands for, and who it does or doesn’t appease. But if it is judged, with it comes a reaction. If it caused a reaction, it’s because it was felt. If it was felt, then that is art.

Because the purpose is to provoke a negative reaction, the best response is to ignore it. But if it is to stay, I would very much enjoy if someone placed a dying smoke detector in its vicinity to create a truly multidimensional piece worthy of the Guggenheim.
