Mediocre artist using cg as a crutch with a gimmick of making an image everyday- yeah that's called "work" and you are supposed to work everyday- I don't see what the big deal is. Don't we all work everyday?

Can I make a commit for 5000 days in a row then sell the text as an NFT? Probably not as I couldn't gain 2 million InstaZuck followers by creating commits with "trump sucks" and "whoa the future is crazy maaaan" as the description everyday.... or could I?

All the "political" art is lame. That's all future dustbin stuff. It panders to plebs who don't understand how the world really works to pay the bills, boring.

There isn't even any layers of abstraction like some of the animations by Svankmajer have, its just topical Murican dumb shit.

It's like bro art. You know those dudes...

Dude's who have "cool tattoo's" and pride themselves on the kind of micro-brew beer they drink and smoke hand rolled cigars cut with Damascus steel or some shit- those dudes like that kind of art- its embarrassing.

Also the Beeple dude owes the Cinema 4d and Octane render programmers some money- without their engineering his "art" would have remained like those lousy drawings.

If 5000 of those drawings is the requirement for making 70 million all the ten year olds out there are going to be rich.

I really like Ethereum too- makes me feel dirty when I interact with the chain now. We should ask Lord Vitalik to do a hard fork so this shitty art NFT thing never happened.

They can have a new fork for the crappy art- Pabst Blue Eth.

None of his art says anything other than "look at me", but then again he's a "designer". Graphic designers/Mograph artists have nothing to say other than "look at me" They are the narcissists of the art world. They are soulless.

If they had souls, and had something important to say they would make full length narrative works but they don't. They just make stupid faces and do the "hang loose" hands or whatever the fuck that hand thing is that people do when they don't know what to say but are trying to act cool.

They make lots of money though, but that is also boring on its own.

The future is so boring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXrLA_P_q2c

Your point seems to be you don’t personally like this art, so other people shouldn’t like this art because it’s not the way you think art should be conceptualized and experienced.

By all means, choose not to like it as an individual...but spouting off some purity test for making and experiencing art is literally the opposite of making and experiencing art, and you sound exactly like the people you’re criticizing.

"His art is objectively bad because I do not like it" seems to be the takeaway here.

Also, your point about Cinema 4D is actually embarrassing. I suppose you'd say the same about brush companies being owed a percentage of the same of oil paintings, too? Without the brushes being manufactured the "art" would have remained those lousy images in their heads.

Love your rant, esp. when it gets to hard-forking ETH to fork out the beeple piece. That's a bit over the top, though, in the end, a blockchain is there for the uses it's users come up with. But you know this...

>Dude's who have "cool tattoo's" and pride themselves on the kind of micro-brew beer they drink and smoke hand rolled cigars cut with Damascus steel or some shit- those dudes like that kind of art- its embarrassing. I don't "get" modern art. Everything is ugly and has "deep" meaning in the sense a 16yo would consider deep. And the art crows is too scared to call the artists out. So yeah, I do agree, but it's not just this beeple guy, it's basically the last 50y of art history, give or take.

But then, those young, white, male hipster dudes have money to spend, so why should the art market not cater to them?

Can you, though?

It's so easy to shit on someone's work... I personally have set a goal for myself to do at least one commit to my project's repo per day, no matter how minute, even a change in todo.txt counts, and have repeatedly failed to meet the goal, for various reasons.

I have good streaks for weeks and months at a time, but 5000 days in a row is fucking impressive in its own right, regardless of the quality.

I thought most of the ,,crappy,, pieces given as example in the article to be at minimum thought-provoking and better than I can create, and pretty hilarious in several cases. At 5000 days in a row, they can,t all be winners, but they are from what I,ve seen.

I think most of the time millions are paid for art it,s shady as fuck, and I don,t know if this one is any different, but the art holds up imo. GP reeks of envy, which is also normal to experience and a valid feeling to have and express.

I find your extreme negative reaction to his success kind of amusing.
