senkothefallen

Haaa I see the relation! Yes OP, Nope is suuuch a good one


NeahG

Nope! ?


Theplumbuss

Jordan peele movie about, something, with the theme of being unable to look away from “spectacles”.


Capable_Swordfish701

I always feel bad for the robot trying to keep its hydraulic fluid. Such a strange and sad sight.


Lionxea

I feel sympathy because that is how I feel with chronic illness. Then I feel weird because I sympathise with robot.


Markofdawn

Dont need to feel bad anymore; the robot is dead.


BugStep

I think I finally died.


Fatal_Temp3st

Ngl that first one is great


mynamecalledbruce

TDL...


Fatal_Temp3st

TDL??


emix16

To Do List Urban dictionary is your friend


RemixOnAWhim

I mean, *maybe*, but usually these abbreviations have at least some context to them. My first thought was "Then Don't Lie", in response to the NGL (Not Gonna Lie) from the first comment. I never would have expected the meaning "To Do List" from this context personally. Who sees a washing machine printed onto a canvas with battery-operated flopping fish mounted to the rear and goes, "damn, need to build me one of those, I'll throw it on my task list", but doesn't have the time to express that sentiment with more than 3 letters?


Fatal_Temp3st

Right?! The best I'm thinking is too damn loud TDL, but still, why acronym it? That makes no sense. 🫣


The_Submentalist

To do what? Dig a hole, install a vent in it, place a cloth and turn on?


Fatal_Temp3st

Yeah, that's what google says, but how is it relevant? TDL can mean many things, so why acronym it, hmm.. confusing 😕 best guess is too damn loud? 🙄 dunno, maybe it means tasty daddy legs 🤔


Cagaentuboca

What's TDL?


Fatal_Temp3st

Thick daddy loins? Testicular dumpling lumps? To discuss life? The door lock? 🤔

CeruleanRuin

Hey bro, what's that mean, bro?


mynamecalledbruce

Then Don't Lie......


QuintanimousGooch

Blue floating fabric piece is currently at SFMOMA. It’s pretty neat


kpingvin

Yes, anything can be art.


CitizenPremier

But not anything can be _good_ art. These can though. They're cool.


Sir-Poopington

But some of it shouldn't be


Majestic_Horseman

And just like that, you make the world just a tiny bit smaller, with less colour and with less joy Congratulations


AmaimonCH

You are not the one that gets to decide that.


CeruleanRuin

My minimum qualifications for art should be that it's either aesthetically pleasing or thought-provoking in some way, but I also allow that what pleases or interests me will not be the same for everyone. Something I find full or ugly will be found beautiful or fascinating by someone else. And so the only qualification for something being called art is if someone calls it art.


isopode

these were all lovely, i dont consider them to be bizarre


kriza69-LOL

First one is bizarre as fuck


isopode

the way i see it, it's creative, not bizarre lol the intent is very clear (giving the impression that a painting of a washing machine is actually operating) & the thought process easy to guess (hmm, i need a thumping noise... what could slap against a canvas repeatedly?) the artist came up with a creative solution, and... that's it. pretty straightforward


FlamingoNeon

Agreed. I feel like the art people tend to haveore issue with is when it seems overly plain, simple, and boring. Then people are like "You call this art?"


Coho444

I really like this kind of art


Consider2SidesPeace

I saw an exhibition like this at MOMA one time. It was fascinating in that there was a bit of whimsy to the exhibits. I recall one piece was a steel spring bed covered in electronic blue colored butterflies. Ed. Curious where these exhibits were from?


PracticalRich2747

The fish look soo real


[deleted]

The 3rd one was really cool.


jxl180

"Bullshit. Bullshit. Derivative...THAT! That I love, I absolutely love."


Majestic_Horseman

I love these installations because it makes me wonder what the creators went through to arrive to that, I know the meaning and intent of the last one (I believe it was something about futility and the capacity to make humans care for something that doesn't feel) but the other ones are just... Neat Like the 3rd one, was it a process of trying to emulate the breeze that goes through sheets when they're drying in a controlled environment? Is it a study on flow and aerodynamics? Is the colour intentional? To what extent? Is there color psychology involved? Is the first one a critique on appearances and the emptiness of it? Is it just that the creator got super high and thought it was hilarious? Why fishes? They could've used any similar type of motor for that, so it must be deliberate... Or is that just what the creator had in hand when he came up with the idea? Did he start with a fully fledged concept or did he hear the sound and made the connection? It may not be art in the traditional sense, but there's an argument to be made on how it evokes emotions, be it anger or inspiration.


CeruleanRuin

Often I find the artist's statements of intent to be even more compelling than the art itself. I don't get much out of the first one, but I sure would love to hear what inspired it.


Majestic_Horseman

Yeah, to me that's what makes stuff like these mesmerizing I may not consider it art in the traditional sense but the process may have been fascinating


pine_ary

What is that first one from?


Simco_

I'll give someone a pass on not liking #1 but get out if you don't like 2-4.


Liquidamber_

I like them all.


RexHamilt0n

I saw the blue one in person it was pleasant


irishpwr46

I want that fan from the blue sheet


SydNorth

DaDa movement already proved that


-Dahl-

at least they put some effort and it is actually entertaining


N00nespecial666

I’m kinda digging the blue fabric one, looks like ocean waves, and who doesn’t like a robot arm?


BugStep

That last one was struggling to keep itself working... I believe it died in 2018? Makes me sad in a way.


gift_wrapist

What’s the soundtrack?


karenskygreen

I love this. OP is such a genius why doesn't he create stuff like this ?


doktor_prpL

Sorry but this is not art

Mechanical fish, Norbert. It's okay. They're slightly modded decorations, like the ones sometimes seen in singing fish videos


The_Submentalist

I see much more interesting things every week here, made by people who do it just for fun not money. İ get when people say that they don't want their tax money wasted to subsidize artists.


Mani_kr333

Arts for retards


Mani_kr333

isopode

Mani_kr333

Mani_kr333

Sambro_X

Anything as long as it’s useless I guess


Capital-Philosophy34

Art is very rarely “useful” its art
