The left side is unironically true
My guy, all jobs are ultimately pointless if you look at it from the biggest perspective. The best that they can do is to make someone happier, which art does by adding meaning and beauty to people’s lives.
says the guy emotionally moved by a piece of art.
You’ve never read a book, listened to music, watched a movie or TV show, you don’t hang art on your walls and you never went to school?
You’ve been consuming art your whole life and, for a great many people, contributing to them paying their way.
Every ticket bought, every ad you watched, every game played: funding artists.
“funding artists” is more like. “Giving artists barely enough to scrape by and the rest of the actual profits to the shareholders”
a fair point, but mostly solved by unions.
I would honestly say that the creation of art is more important than most current jobs in society.
Art is what I really live for, most of everything is either about survival, comfort, or convenience. Remember, most of the entertainment you consume is a form of art, from videogames, to tv shows, to youtube videos, to books, to drawings, to stories.
Without art, life would have much less meaning for me.
These are the glimmers of a human race I can respect and even admire.
Hoarding capital profit at the direct expense of your fellow man, ie our global economy? Not so much, burn all the capital markets to the ground and nothing of actual value will have been lost.
tl;dr 😒😒
Infinite wisdom, but very very limited attention span.
the comment is not that long, just read it
Come on buddy use your words.
Wow, just get a job that I love doing? Good golly gosh, I never thought of that before.
Without passion. And create art. Doing what you love by being yourself. Other people define and say you will follow your heart. Happy and free, not love your art and by inspiring people letting others tell you you can change the world.
Doing what you love by being yourself.
Makes sense…
letting others tell you you can change the world.
Well, if only if only…
Perfection.
I’m moved to tears
no active /c/sbeve, what a shame
That is a very thoughtful rectangular prism.
Does anybody know where this is / who the artist is?
It’s by Jasmine Kay and was exhibited at the University of Texas at Austin:
Installation piece made from vinyl
Location: Pillar in the stairwell of the UT Austin Art Building was up for two weeks
While walking into the building, this [the “art is pointless” side] is the first side to be seen.Oohhh, nice thanks for the info, that is so cool!
Post this but blur out the right side of the column.
This would look a lot better if there wasn’t such a huge gap between both sides…
True, but the first half needs to look like its own separate thing at first glance, too
It would be so much cooler if the other side would also read coherently. I realise that’s exponentially more difficult though.
I mean I AM trying. Better to starve on your feet than to eat on your knees or something.
I normally just sit.
That’s actually pretty unhealthy, maybe try getting a standing desk?
