Question 1: Burden executed a private act which required a public audience (it was distinguished in this article between public and private audiences). How does the audience affect the significance of this art, this performance? Does the performance change by the audience viewing it, or does the type of audience change the piece? Is art only important because of those who view it? Because otherwise, how would we appreciate it or learn about it if no one has observed it? Does a piece's significance increase with the number of viewers? How does the audience size emphasis the meaning of an artwork?
Question 2: Was this worth the art, shooting a person? How do ethics play a part in this piece? Did nobody want/try to stop this from happening? Or was everyone too distracted to think about this aspect?
