That anon didn't mean anything more than what he displayed on the screen. But to other people's psyche it was totally different. People took angles on something that he never thought were even there.
I'm gonna play devils advocate here for a moment, even though I hate the modern art movement with a passion. I think art is anything that is specific enough to be unmistakeable, or vague enough that it becomes a sort of Rorschach test. If your art is so vague that anyone can find meaning in it, isn't that sort of beautiful in itself?
Everything we do can be considered art. And if that is the case, then NOTHING is art and art never existed in the first place
There's actually an artistic movement for that called Dada. Including such master works as Duchamp Fountaine, 4'33", and L.H.O.O.Q
I heard about Dada a long time ago, and forgot about it until now. Thanks for resurfacing this memory for me.
And yea, I can see your point. People do generally try and make a piece of art for a purpose, and generally this purpose falls into a category that most of us here can determine to be art.
Art is ridiculous. Sure I appreciate looking at cool things, but at the end of the fucking day when Hemingway says the grass was green...HE MEANS THE GRASS WAS FUCKING GREEN! There isn't always an entire essay hidden in these small lines. There isn't always deeper meaning.
If you really want to get down to it, Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder. This saying is so true. That anon didn't mean anything more than what he displayed on the screen. But to other people's psyche it was totally different. People took angles on something that he never thought were even there. Even though this is just a .greentext, it points out some very real things.
Everything we do can be considered art. And if that is the case, then NOTHING is art and art never existed in the first place. The only thing that truly exists is our interpretation of the world around us. To each their own, and to all a good night.
