Graffiti on a bathroom stall is the purest form of art as it is not done for acclaim or monetary reward ... as the joke goes.
But actually I don't think pressure and tracking are inextricably linked. The culture of experimentation is what is important. You can have metrics that can guide you with the understanding that they should not be prescriptive.
- c22 7mo agoIf it's not done for acclaim then why is it usually someone's handle?
- digitalsushi 7mo agoit's like bragging you're Spartacus
- jayd16 7mo agoIn this context, bathroom stall graffiti would be lewd limericks and the like. Tagging is different. But also it's just a joke.
- im3w1l 7mo agoI think the joke claimed to make a real point, and it's totally fair to critize that point.
- peacebeard 7mo agoWe're going to have to collect data on the ratio of bathroom graffiti between tags and limericks. Anecdotally, where I live a it's mostly silly goosery. Just to be totally clear, here is an example. Please cover up my user name for an authentic experience. A dozen, a gross, and a score, Plus three times the square root of four, Divided by seven, Plus five times eleven, Is nine squared, and not a bit more.

- peacebeard 7mo agoA little cynical of the arts isn't it.
