At some point in the last 100 years, Art has jumped the shark. This may be attributable to an ever increasing level of sophistication needed to begin appreciating, so that new artists entering the field were left imitating things they did not themselves understand. It may be because of world-weariness after the horrors of the Great War causing art to detach itself from reality. But I think it is because of a lack of ambition. Set that shark on fire, and simultaneously shoot two automatic weapons while jumping it, while uttering neat action hero quips ("In Old Country, shark jumps you!"), and see if you don't get that fresh back into the art scene in no time. Hell, I'd watch that movie. As a matter of fact, I think I need to go work on a screenplay...

Nice to know that the pretentious, self-referential school of "art" is still alive and well.
ReplyDeleteIt's a necessary skill set for those lacking in actual artistic ability.

ReplyDeleteI thought this was a comedy piece.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she stiffed the videographer and he YouTubed it with snarky subtitles.
Nope; It's on her own YouTube channel.
