I understand that for some, anything that gets people talking about it meets the definition of art. Unfortunately, this definition of art includes bum fights and taco stands that give you diarrhea.
- null0pointer 2y agoI think all OP was getting at is that they miss when the internet was fun. Nowadays everything is either serious business or a cynical grift. Or both. For me, Stealth Mountain is a much more whimsical form of art than the diarrhea taco stand. But there are plenty of uncomfortable works out there that firmly fall within the category of art. I’ve seen a literal shit machine at a gallery [0], and it would only take a few seconds of searching to find dozens of performance art works to make one uncomfortable. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaca_(art_installation) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaca_(art_installation)
