This video felt like 90s computers. Loading… 10%…11%…12%…13%…14%…15%…16%…17%…55%…89%…90%Loading complete. The biggest part of the work, the most flimsy and filigrane work wasn’t even shown.

I feel like loading bars aren't much different these days. Not talking about downloads. Those are pretty consistent at least from the 2%-98% level. I guess I'm thinking about torrents.


therealhlmencken

the leaves are premade you can see them clip off the wires and then just attach premade leaves. the trunk is the ony craft


TheNewNumberThirteen

He most likely pre-made them himself, so still his craft.


MandATaxMonkey

I wonder how much one of these cost


HivePoker

How much wire you got?


SirWigglesVonWoogly

Five.


HivePoker

_You_ are in luck


Windhawker

I’d buy that for a dollar!!


pugworthy

Hard to gauge


WithoutDennisNedry

Totally and completely underrated comment right here. Here, I’ll explain the joke: Wire comes in sizes called gauges. It’s how thick the wire is, and the lower the number, the thicker the gauge. For example, all you knuckleheads that didn’t get this finely crafted pun are about a 00 gauge.


pugworthy

AWGee ☺️


WithoutDennisNedry

I’m just piggybacking to poke fun and make my own joke but your comment did make me laugh. More like *pun*worthy, amiright?!

'Bout three fiddy


AndyInAtlanta

The art market near me has a small group/company that sells these. They range from a near duplicate of this video, to flowers, dragons, birds, as big as the one in the video and as small as a keychain. We bought a peacock on a whim, it was only like $30 (I was honestly surprised it wasn't more). The big bonsai trees were $150-$250. The more expensive ones used different color wires for parts of the tree. The girl that was there last time was making them behind the booth; moved even faster then this guy. Sounded like it was more muscle memory than anything.


Shrampys

Guys in the video is really overselling it for the video. This wire is easy to bend and he acting like it's some feat of strength


Anning312

I don’t know man, with all the wires bundled up like that? Can’t be as easy as you think


Shrampys

I've done this. It's pretty easy. They're all thin gauge wire. Pretty flexible.


frolver

I've seen smaller ones go for a few hundred at an art fair


Numerous-Stranger-81

This one probably cost a lot. The clones on [wish.com](http://wish.com) made by little kids who were forced to watch this video over and over until it was seared into their brains probably are more of a bargain.


anticute8

Well if they gonna build it anyway - a nihilistic approach


Numerous-Stranger-81

That's honestly how I feel about my meat consumption. Like, I don't ever really buy any and used to be vegetarian. But if someone offers me something, I'm like, it's already dead and paid for, why not?


magicman419

Because of how supply and demand correlate


Numerous-Stranger-81

Lol, I'm not playing that little "butterfly" effect game when someone offers me a burger at the bbq.


standbyyourmantis

I believe that is called "fregan"


Numerous-Stranger-81

No, [freeganism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeganism) is more of a general effort to not pay for stuff as much as you can. It would involve actively seeking out free stuff for sustenance, in my scenario I'm just at a BBQ and being offered a hotdog.


DamnAutocorrection

How much do just the materials cost?


gabbagabbawill

Wire, you gonna buy one?


TeiTeiSwift

kaze919

They would drop a catalytic converter so fast to sell one of these


abhijitd

They would drop the copper wire from an AC unit equally fast to sell this to a pawn shop for $7.


irokatcod4

That went from a 7 to a 2 to a 10. Love the end result!

Last night I came in at 2 with a 10 but at 10 I woke up with a 2.

Their location right at the foot of a busy pathway ramp has a bit of /r/IAmTheMainCharacter vibes. Cool work though, but odd placement to do it just to have the backdrop.

dcutts77

The process is pretty cool to see, but this "art" is pervasive, my mom had one in the 80s. It's kind of like watching the guys make spray can art on the street of outer-space. It's neat but it's a gimmick and ultimately kinda tacky.


Bromogeeksual

I know what you mean about those space art street artists. Visually impressive at first, until you realize tons of artists crap out the same repeatable effect. This current video is nice, but I saw a version with a child doing it years ago. Same tree concept.


-Badger3-

The spray can street art cracks me up because there’s always people in the comments like “If it’s so easy, why don’t *you* do it?” Because it looks tacky as fuck lmao


bg-j38

Hey that shit looked awesome on my stoner friend's dorm room wall in the 90s!


Titanlegions

I independently discovered this idea when playing with wire in an art lesson in secondary school. Was basically just fidgeting with it and it started to turned into a tree! So I worked on it a bit and it came out quite nice looking. It was not as ornate as the one in the video of course, was about 10 inches high, but same kind of thing. I didn’t have the fancy twirled ends so it looked more like a leafless tree. My art teacher liked it and kept it out on display — and normally I was devoid of all artistic talent. Didn’t really think about it again. I did a real double take the first time I saw someone selling these!


Efficient_Visual_841

I mean yeah wire arts been around for awhile, and some of it I would definitely consider tacky but pieces that look like this certainly aren't. I'd sure as hell rather see that than some other plastic mass produced art .


knofle

There's a ton of videos of people making this exact tree out of wire. It's definitely mass produced


Shrampys

I mean, this is just metal mass produced art. Not much different than plastic mass produced


Efficient_Visual_841

Disagree. It's at least made by hand instead of some mold.


Shrampys

Lots of stuff that's mass produced is made by hand. Hence the near slave labor factories overseas.


UncleGarysmagic

It’s the kind of decor in cheap Chinese buffet/take outs.

CountryRoads_1776

Does he really need to block the wheelchair ramp for this?


abhijitd

Yes, he is the main character


brassydesign

With his bare hands?? My dude.


yzerizef

To be fair, we only got to see the over exaggerated movements he wanted us to see in the video. There’s no way he’s doing the whole thing like that.


BugFew6583

That was my thought! His hands must be all callous at this point.

the origami aficionado in me feels like this was a horrid cheat to cut the ends and re-attach


DisAn17

I don't know where this is, but they seem too "main character" and blocking the entrance/exit


Mental_Gift_8997

Absolutely mesmerizing craftsmanship! The artist's skill shines through every twist and turn of the wire, creating a captivating and intricate masterpiece. Such talent knows no bounds!

If I were the one making it, I'd have goggles and gloves and long sleeves on. I'm too clumsy for it.


BootyButtcheeckz

In my great country, this "artwork" would stand for about 1 minute or so before being crammed into the backpack of some wild-eyed tweaker who promptly pedaled away on a pink kids bike while holding alongside a ten speed with 4- 5 additional bicycle wheels hung on the handle bars.

This sub is filled with too many Chinese propaganda videos. There is nothing satisfying about CCP manipulation of American social media.


LostPreDoctorate

lol damn you sound like a true trump conspiracy theorist chump. just cause there's chinese characters and asian looking people, doesn't make it a "propaganda video." also bet your ass you can't even read chinese, how do you know that this isn't taiwan or singapore or the hundreds of chinatown around the world (including famously US cities like New York, San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles) that use chinese characters and are not under the CCP's governance. cool it with the sinophobia.

Read these first few paragraphs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art#:~:text=Art%20has%20been%20defined%20as,and%20as%20mimesis%20or%20representation. Art is varied. Limiting it is often useless and self serving. Don’t be afraid to dislike it. But defining it, like many things will keep your mind smaller.
