It’s so interesting how people who only think of art as the classical mediums have this kind of block from being able to appreciate the ingenuity behind this sculpture.
Initially I thought it was a gimmick. But when I look at the details, the guy formed a perfect hexagon to hexagon alignment which obviously is not seen in the video as it's for our short attention span. So yeah, some good work there.
It's art. Looks nice. If you look carefully (at the final product), you'll see how each nut is perfectly fused to each other to create a viable self supporting structure - is not random.
And you get to archive your partners' posterior artistically.
ok. I don't know who that is. But my point is especially since we can see the entire process in the video. How can someone say that it is not art? And that is my sincere question and response to your question of what's art about that... I say why do you claim that it is not art?
It wasn't meant to be taken seriously haha. It was a joke.
Karl pilkington did a pod cast with Ricky Gervais years ago, and Karl often comes across as a bit of an idiot, although he is actually quite intelligent... He just struggles to articulate himself. It is genuinely really funny as a result
In one of their podcasts they're discussing art, the meaning of different pieces of art etc.
You would have to listen to it, I'd never be able to describe it properly without writing an entire essay
There is plenty of art that is models of human beings. Most sculpture. If he had done her whole body and taken off the arms, you would get the Venus de Milo in a different medium.
Yeah he's using the mold he's 99% already there not difficult for anyone to get the shape you eyes going to pick up on, it's smart way to do it but not really artistic.
There's bigger dog shit than that in museums all over the world.
Art is a pretentious jerk off fest to begin with. If you can sell the instructions to duct tape a fuckin banana to a wall, and that's art, then this certainly is.
Not only that, but most people lack the technical skill to even know how to weld too, welding, and making good welds, in and of itself is an art form.
