I don't understand this style of, minimalism? Isn't the point to remove the power your possessions have over you? Not obsess over minifying the amount of possessions you own?
- lucideer 10y agoI think you're jumping to the conclusion that that's the point. Certainly many see removing the power possessions have over us as a positive, but art around this subject could be exploring it from different angles, and I don't see that stated anywhere in this installation. It could well be a celebration of consumerism[1], or just an exploration of obsession over possession. [1] Worth noting, the installation is sponsored by shopify
- waiseristy 10y agoThat's a fair read of the piece, I think I'm trying to subconsciously shoehorn my dislike of minimalism into my interpretation.
- throwanem 10y agoCurious: Whence comes the dislike?
- waiseristy 10y agoI'm a countercultural asshole =\
- throwanem 10y agoSo you're antiminimalist because Jonathan Ive is pro-? That seems an odd criterion. What would you do if he changed his style?
