I think it tells us something about nature of "art", what it is and what it used to be. Just not sure what.
It's funny how easily can "unsavoury botting and spamming" become an "art installation". Also makes you wonder what exactly is difference between "art" project linked above and like/follower vending machine (https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xw8yv3/russian-vending-machine-fake-instagram-likes https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xw8yv3/russian-vending-ma...).
- mitjak 6y agoi see art is some amounts of aesthetic rendition and an encapsulation of an idea. Rembrandt might lean more into the former, while e.g. found objects (dada etc) and something like this are more the latter. "bad art" only exists in as far as failing to pose an interesting question and/or reach an audience aesthetically. personally i think this project does a great job of posing questions about what it means to be successful on social media.
- driesdep 6y agoThat is a beautiful way on how to look to art!
