can't a work of art remain a work of art - or even take on new artistic meaning - if it's declared 'not art' or 'dead' to the artist? Especially when it's entitled 'a tool to deceive and slaughter'!

For instance, if someone was found brutally bludgeoned to death with said black box, this changes the context and thereby completely revolutionarizes the artistic and cultural, not to mention physical, impact(s).

Sure, it all depends on what's most important to you. The important thing to realize is that the art/not-art distinction is completely fabricated -- everyone means something different when they say "art."
