	Vandalism
		Vandalism (capitalized) is hostility to the arts and literature, or willful destruction or defacement of their monuments, said to be in the spirit of the Vandals in their attacks on the Roman Empire.
		Recent cases of Vandalism in this vein include the toppling and destruction of Soviet monuments after the fall of the Soviet Union and the Taliban destruction of Buddhist statuary in Afghanistan.
		Some vandalism qualifies as culture jamming or sniggling - artistic statements in their own right that are illegal and destructive from the point of view of the legal system, but are done with a creative and artistic impulse.

	Disputations - Vermeer II
		Vermeer's work is distorted far more powerfully by cheap copy technology than through the opera glasses used by those visitors unable to get anywhere near his paintings at the Mauritshuis gallery in the Hague.
		However, Vermeer II does far more than simply raise questions about authorship, the institution of art, the relationship between a copy and an 'original', the commodification of culture and the status of painting in post-industrial society.
		Home's treatment of Vermeer's work invokes the detourned paintings of the COBRA and situationist activist Asger Jorn, who in the early sixties set up the Scandinavian Institute for Comparative Vandalism.
