Some crazy guy sits in a room and puts clay on his face and calls it art - General

Why do they always have to get naked. I mean I understand with the clay and all.. But every single hipster art thing posted here, they always strip in the first minute.

i bet he had the hardest boner while doing this, too.

[QUOTE=darius_bielecki;25891728]This is modern art. [img_thumb] http://sleevage.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/blur_thebestof.jpg[/img_thumb] I bet most people on this forum and yourself wouldn’t stop to call this art because it’s reasonably normal and nice on the eyes. All I'm asking for is your definition on art. [editline]6th November 2010[/editline] Why are you now commenting that you don’t give a shit if this is art right after you’ve been arguing that you don’t think it is?[/QUOTE] You made that didn't you?...

Obviously people here go batshit over this and say "What The Fuck Is This"?! Honestly, I think it's that certain reaction that this perfomance is trying to get and trying to get people thinking: "What is this shit? This is insane!" And that may just be exactly what he wanted to do. For him, that is art and art is all about getting reactions from the viewer. They make people realize. There might be some sort of themes behind this, but who knows. Anyway here's something else for you: [url]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrueArtIsIncomprehensible[/url] From the famous movie 2001 Space Oddysee: [i]If anyone came out of the theater understanding everything that had happened, the fimmakers failed at their job.

Fucking hipsters

Silent Hill nurses, much? [img]http://mitsukai.blogg.se/images/2009/nurses_wallpaper_48648888.jpg[/img] [img]http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/4148/silenthillk.jpg[/img]

Is it wrong that i still stare at the silent hill nurses' rack? :fappery:

[QUOTE=IceTea;25912407]You made that didn't you?...[/QUOTE] No it's a rather famous portrait of the band 'blur' by someone called Julian Opie. [QUOTE=Neinman;25914433]Fucking hipsters[/QUOTE] The guy looks like he's 40.

That freaked the shit out of me. I don't really know why, because I usually don't get freaked out by weird stuff like this, but this was different. I can't put my finger on it, but the faces and shit he made was really fucking scary.

He's on Snow Crash.

Next year's Halloween costume.

Imagine if someone walked in on him doing this.

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;25891507]Because modern art is fucking stupid And really, all he is doing is sitting in a room talking to himself and smearing clay on his face, I couldn't give two shits if this is meant to be art to some pretentious hipsters, to most people doing this is considered being fucking insane[/QUOTE] What do you think art is? It certainly is not "drawing aesthetically pleasing lines". The most valuable paintings in the world are not pretty, but they mystify the viewer. The Mona Lisa is not an exceptional technical piece compared to other standards, but the smile makes it one of the most important pieces in the world.

[QUOTE=Lilly;25904711]I'm sure the entire performance was planned out, and each part held a specific meaning for him personally. I remember someone saying that it could be social commentary on how we always strive to add to ourselves, since we don't feel beautiful enough, but the further we go, the uglier we actually get. [editline]6th November 2010[/editline] Or he's just a fucking nutjob. I guess we'll never know for sure.[/QUOTE] ew fuck if theres some bullshit social commentary like that ill die [editline]8th November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Xolo;25934644]What do you think art is?

He just keeps adding things on! :ohdear:

What the fuck? No, seriously.... What The Fuck

What the christ am I watching Someone should make a gif of 8:41 to 8:50

I am an art student and what is this?

Creative..

[QUOTE=emPiRe14;25906051]Damn, it's like the idea Andy Warhol made fun of, "I'll do a thing and it's amazing art!!!"[/QUOTE] Oh god. The fact that he's making fun of that idea causes it to ascend to the level of true art. Too meta :byodood: [editline]l[/editline] [QUOTE=Xolo;25934644]The Mona Lisa is not an exceptional technical piece compared to other standards, but the smile makes it one of the most important pieces in the world.[/QUOTE] I thought it was one of the most important pieces in the world because Da Vinci used the so called "Golden Ratio" to create the face with the perfect proportions to be truly beautiful. Or something

Laughed at 3:14
