In light of the experimental challenges already facing the science of consciousness, the problem of a collapse between subject and object in the experience of art is not necessarily a deal breaker in considering it as an experimental model for consciousness. Plus, art experience offers an empirical, material experience of contingent knowledge formulation as it plays out under infinitely variable conditions. Art deals with the framing problem in ways that are damn hard to replicate in a lab. Art can’t be digitally parsed and controlled like a computer program, but at the same time it is not bound by the limits of computer models.
You can observe the collapse of the subject/object wave function here:

(You can tell it's art, and not science, because the monkey doesn't have electrodes.)
