WTF is ‘art’?

Video by Wojciech Kosma

A lot of people tell me ‘Carles, ur an artist’ but I have to tell them, ‘I’m not an artist. I’m a blog.’  After seeing a video of this artist broad giving a microphone a ‘hummer’ while wearing a slutty lil outfit, I feel like I can ‘adamantly confirm’ that I am not an artist. It seems like most authentic art must take place in a gallery with white walls, and there can’t be ‘that many’ people there. It probably has to be an opening where wine is being served, and every1 must stand around and watch/feel pressure to ‘get’ performance artists performing their performance art.

Feel overwhelmed by ‘art.’ As we continue to move forward in time, there are just more&more ways 2 express yourself–more tools, more ways 2 communicate, and more metaphors to be showcased. Kinda makes u wonder what is ‘art’ and what is ‘just being alive.’ Always feel very confused about this topic. I never went to Art History class during undergrad, and actually failed because of my poor attendance. Maybe if I had attended, I would have a better eye for ‘what is art’ and what is ‘bullshit.’

It’s kinda weird how art is supposed to ‘represent life’, and challenge u to think about some aspect of humanity/society is ‘kinda fucked up.’ I am not sure why people think expression is so important. Maybe it’s bc we’re all afraid of dying, and we feel like if we were able to ‘make people think abt life [via art]‘, then we will never be forgotten. If u ‘never forget’, then u will live forever, kinda like 9-11 (until Generation Z has kids).

I feel confused about performance art. It seems like people who ‘just want attention’ made by the demographic of art students who have minimal technical skills, and must ‘get sensationalist.’ Possibly were neglected as children. Like they didn’t have good parents who discouraged them from spending 5 years getting a ‘master’s degree’ in Art. I am not sure if I want to be a designer or an artist when I grow up. Design seems ‘corporate’, and art seems ‘raw.’ Not sure which person I want 2 be 4 the rest of my life.

Not sure how ‘the internet’ has changed art. It seems like u shouldn’t try to make ‘art’ n e more, maybe we should just focus on ‘designing and branding streams of memes.’ I did a googsearch for ‘art vs design’ and this image came up. Maybe it explains everything.

Just want to ‘jack off’ and ’shit’ on objects, but not because I want it to be ‘art’, but because I sincerely have the desire to ‘tug off’ and ‘defecate’ on stuff. Wish I could just ‘be’ without having to put everything in a box/label/genre with dumb name/ stereotype.

Just want to stand in a gallery with a group of my closest bros, buzzed, and ’snicker’ while some1 ’seriously performs’ something that might be ‘very stupid.’

    This would be better art if the artist had hired a sex worker to fellate the microphone. I don’t like seeing the artist on display, it ruins the idea.

    obviously, if she is the ‘artist’ she chose to do the performance herself. So obviously, this would have been the idea. So please explain to me how she ruined her idea? Did she perhaps ruin your idea of art?

    I think it may be presumptuous, but I like to think I create art. Also, I have taken art history. They teach you how to look at art and assess it, but never what art is. That is because it is a working definition. That is why it is best to be a working artist and leave the history part to die in a museum. We define art, the individual us. that is why we give simulated blow jobs in stark white walled rooms and sip wine, despite the fact that it is silly.

    Because everyone has the right to create their own definition for what art is.

    y does evry1 have the right 2 create their own definition of what art is?

    that sounds like a bold claim

    because the only answer is something that has to do with ‘intrinsic human value’

    which implies that it is somehow special and unique and miraculous that we as a species/as an individual are alive

    which implies the existence of a god

    and there is no god xcept 4 carles on HRO

    so gtfo b4 we crucify u and call it a think piece

    I know, right. It’s like… little moments of insecurity when she’s like ‘well, hey… how’s my blowjob?’. Or maybe she’s simulating something. Like how chicks look at the camera during ‘BJ-only’ porn.

    I like that Carles is really letting this one sit on the main page. Letting it sink in. Like real art :)

    IDK WTF ART IS IRL

    Some1 plz take me to an art gallery similar to this one, so I can claim to be ‘cultured’, when i actually just ‘really get off’ on broads deep-throating microphones [via a physical interpretation of our dependence/commitment to technology, the modern 'crutch' that helps us express ourselves...maybe...?]


    [via cont'd]

    Feel like this is a B- answer, b/c I don’t really get what is going on, but I used big words, and ‘tried hard’ so the t.a will/might help me out.
