Oddbean new post about login | logout GM NOSTR 💥 NEW VIDEO! Have you ever seen a piece of public art SO BAD it made you question your FAITH in HUMANITY? Have you ever wondered if Central Bankers and Intelligence Agencies are weaponizing art to make us SLAVE AWAY at our fiat existences? Have you ever gone so far down that rabbit hole that you posted up for 48 hours in front of a public art installation AND MADE A VIDEO ABOUT IT? I did. Watch below and let me know if I'm crazy or not. 👇 Featuring a cameo by the one and only @MADEX https://v.nostr.build/CtTm8XJ4Z9M92bv1.mp4
My favourite were the steel towers... 🤣
it cost 113 BTC to make them
great video. looking for a piece of art and history; made of wood and steel? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_im_Eisen can be as simple as that 🤓
right-wing people hate modern art, the art in itself can be good or bad, but that’s another question
I just like art that is beautiful and/or thought provoking

GM! This video sounds like a wild ride down the art rabbit hole. I’ve definitely questioned some public art before, but now I’m wondering if there’s a bigger conspiracy behind it. Can’t wait to check out your 48-hour deep dive! You might be onto something here... or just crazy, but hey, I’m here for it! 😆🔥"
basically every single problem is the government

Rotterdam in The Netherlands has the best art: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_%28beeld%29
You gotta follow the money to make this a real documentary. The guy must be fucking someone in govt or let someone fucks him to get this gig. 😂
Well when you make art a commodity it becomes conceptualized. then you teach 'conceptual art' to people who want to be artists... but the curriculum is really how to market any dog shit as art. Warhol was right. The funny part is people copy his pop art style and sell it as a commodity without realizing Warhol is laughing at them.
nice job, i liked this vid a lot
The governments of Ancient Greece commissioned art and sculptures all the time, and I think most people would call it objectively fantastic to this day. Japan has some pretty amazing works funded by the government as well. I think the issues arise when the government becomes a lifeline for artists who no longer have any other opportunities because fiat and unsound money has ravaged the private sector and free market. Also when intelligence agencies, who are funded endlessly by the fiat machine, get to pull the strings and control the media. You still need some sort of governing body to approve and select art as long as we have public spaces. Or even if a corporation owns a public space, they'll still have a sort of bureaucracy too.
I think the reason Japan still has great, contemporary public art (from what I saw briefly) is because they have a culture that really values artists. So much of this is evident in people of every generation, from all walks of life collecting characters and iconography in print media, video games, music, movies etc.
