Art or Commerical Porducts??

The article “Psst! Hey, Buddy” about soundbombs is talking about this sound jar that would make people be aware of their surroundings. I think this is a very cool artwork that is has a message and purpose from the artist and carried out its purpose in an interesting way, but the more even important thing is that it sells and a lot of people are lining up to buy it. I guess my question is what makes an artwork successful? And when does an artwork go from art to a commercial-liked product?

I think the artist’s intention is very important on keeping the piece art. The designer of soundbombs, Felix Beck, “won’t sell to just anyone.” By not mass producing soundbomb, I think Beck has kept his work unique and different from a commercial product even though it could turn into on.
