...the amount of photography copyright infringement seen here is somewhere between surreal and legendary, could do a piece on all the lawsuits that should arise from this with subpoena notices replacing all the photos. besides, flickr/deviart is for nudists with cameras that have way too much time to spend on cs5.5 and a penchant for foliage basked by a sunset photography...oh wait, that's instagram kids too...

I now have to drown in this guy's visual representation of his experiences. 

That's an arsonists dream!

The shape of the pile clearly shows that there is an underlying structure to this. They probably estimated the volume of the photos then just made it look like they bothered to print them all, but actually didn't, because that would have cost tens of thousands for something that would never be seen. 

It looks a lot safer to jump in than a room full of gold coins. 

What an environmental disaster.

Ha! I had the first irrelevant and relevant posts! Double suck it.

most things labeled "art" are crap in my opinion.

Rick, if you went to art college, surely you would know that Duchamps' fountain was a critique of art itself. He was a nihilist and genuinely believed many of his works had destroyed the essence of art, that there was nothing more to be explored.

Because of technology and the ease of reproduction, art has naturally seen a shift from the aesthetic to the conceptual. In my opinion art is currently about pushing the boundaries of creativity. Some works prosper, some works fail, but unless you put the time in to understand the works conception you're never going to get anything out of it. It doesn't help making brash generalizations...

Because I don't like "fountain" I must assuredly be ignorant to its intent right? Well thanks for the art lesson, professor but I was already fully aware of Duchamp's purported intent.  Are you trying to enlighten me or convince yourself? Either way it doesn't change my opinion. Funny what we're allowed to criticize and what we aren't without being accused of brash generalizations and ignorance.  What does THAT say about society? Could it be that I have fully formed an opinion based on study and analysis... guess not since it doesn't fit your views.

Be sure to let me know what else I can and cannot dislike.

Rick_McRockock... We agree with you. Look up some of Yoko Ono's early exhibits if you want support of your argument.

Look up Pewlpit if you want proof that we've supported you, featuring your opinion as the lead to this story.

That's because you're an insensate and shallow moron. You know, like the rest of the society that raised you. 

No... I'm just not suckered into the idea that anything labeled "art" is such just because the "artist" says so. "I'm gonna cover shit in pink vinyl and call it art 'cause I'm so artsy".... crap. Fountain by Duchamp is a perfect example of the art con in my opinion. Because Duchamp made up a bit of heady symbolism we're supposed to accept it as art. I bet Duchamp laughed his ass off when people did just that. Pretentious, pompous, arrogant hipster nonsense. I can only hope someone like Caravaggio kicked Duchamp's ass in the afterlife. By the way... I went to a private art college on scholarship, dumbass.

P.S. While we're making sweeping generalizations about people we don't know I'll just assume you're a self-important pseudo-intellectual hipster douchebag. You know, like the rest of your friends who probably secretly hate you.
