&gt; Representing himself, Mr Lau argued it breaches the state&#x27;s Anti-Discrimination Act. &gt; &quot;Anyone who buys a ticket would expect a fair provision of goods and services in line with the law.&quot;<p>&gt; The museum agrees the exhibit does indeed discriminate. But it argued that Mr Lau hasn&#x27;t missed out on anything - he experienced the artwork exactly as intended.<p>&gt; &quot;Part of the experience is being denied something that is desired,&quot; said Mona&#x27;s counsel, Catherine Scott, according to local paper The Mercury.

What about the other obvious trolling angle of demanding admission by claiming to be a woman?

Of course, the best way for an artist to gain publicity is to do something controversial that, in modern terms, leads to &quot;engagement&quot;.<p>Good job, subject doesn&#x27;t matter.<p>Edit: &quot;The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.&quot; Oscar Wilde.

The exhibit is an incredibly fun idea and does exactly what Art should do, but the court case proceedings described in the article are just as wonderful. It&#x27;s filled with quotes and anecdotes that all fit very well in the hacker-ethos.
