A lot of this stuff is really cool tho. People rag on modern art because they dont understand it or because they are pushing a regressive worldview onto others. This stuff is good/important because it is weird.
I've also seen the emperors clothes. They are absolutely magnificant!
Ngl I respect the eyelash painter regardless.
Everyone else is just part of a money laundering scheme.
She's willing to suffer for the art at least.
OK... each to his own I guess 🤷.
I'm with you this shit was all weird.
Yuh there were some real good ones in here with pretty strong messages - woman in vacuum seal.
Also the high jump one was just cool af.
And for as weird as they may seem at first blush, many of these obviously took real skill, thought, and effort to execute. Some of these would even be dangerous or deadly without that effort.
I also thought it was brave, provocative, and transformational.
I'm super white, but man... Fucking white people.
Yes. The interesting thing is that, mostly rich white people do shit like this.
After watching this i think modern artists are just mentally ill people acting out
We live in a society that's committing suicide. Who's "sane" here?
I think it's less committing suicide, and more at the behest of corruption, unrestricted power, and a persistent lack of empathy.
But words are cheap, I will now perform eighty hours of silence and fasting. You must experience this with me to fulfill my my art. Only by the end of the period will you realize I was not participating, but instead exhibiting the role of the corrupted ruling class.
Also, I'm going to paint my weiner and slap it around on some paper.
Record it and submit. Art it will be.
That's just what going 200k into debt you'll never be able to pay off does to your psyche.
As someone with a BFA (without debt), no those are mostly the ones working at Starbucks, or taught themselves coding or webdesign after graduation. These are the nepobabies who can actually afford to attempt an art career.
I don't get most of it, but I vibe with paper towel lady at 1:06.
Also cucumber lad at 1:24 has childhood bordem that I can relate to.
I also liked the paper towel one for some reason. Big "I'm bored at home" vibes, with its use of household implements in the art piece (fly swatter, laundry hamper, etc). Rolling out all the paper towels like that seems like a pretty fun and interesting thing to do if I ever had loads of time on my hands.

I'm pretty sure I could just go to a modern art museum while trippin balls and cause a scene and I bet people would put cash in my head thinking it's a show.
The difference between you and these people is that they're not afraid to actually do it.
Is that a challenge?
Oh yeah, totally! Just make sure to record it or it's not art.
If you don't make a record it's not art or science, it's just masturbation.
Don't forget to piss a little on them, that'll get them to throw extra money.
I think the only thing I didn’t do was…. I don’t know. Nearly everything shown here have I done as a little child.
Picasso said "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child"
So the answer to the question of what beauty and art really is, is a child?
I'm into it. Doesn't need to make sense out of context in a 3 second clip. I'll still go experience it. I've seen some pretty moving art installations that, taken as a 3 second clip out of context, would make a bunch of people on the internet go "art no make sense".
I just see "video not found, server is down" and I'm thinking this is shitpost and that totally could be the "art".... 🤔
Loads for me, no problem 🤷.

2:04 is just a chick having people watch her fetish
True. But also not just 2:04. I'd say ~¼ of them could be described in fetish terms.
