earlier today i was looking at the book The 21st-Century Art Book (http://www.amazon.com/21st-Century-Book-Editors-Phaidon-Press/dp/071486739X/) while thinking "yeah if you're so artistic and everything 21st century you better prove it, you better" and whatnot. there's so much art out there in the world but it's easier to not care about art, so today i cared a li'l and learned about people, which i enjoyed doing

this topic is for discussing such things

anselm reyle does whatever this is, nice:

marcelo cidade maybe this is slightly less fun but nah it's gotta be fun, and it does this art thing where i look at it and i'm like "this is stupid" then "no i love it" then "no it's stupid and i love it" then "sorry i called it stupid, i do love it" then "anyone want pizza?"

what i'm doing is opening a conversation

within the art world, the most cutting edge thing to do is be involved in vr. i don't really feel like proving this so fuck you if your context sucks.

art was is and always will be dictated by forward ideological expression within contemporary means of representation. fucking definition. within an internet culture, vr is the appropriate art parallel, no question. now i'd like to express my personal longing for hologram chambers.

within a vr context, how do you think, as QT states, VR will find its mainstream representation ten years from now. i live in LA so of course there's a vr theater on one of our main streets. what i'm saying is, however much anyone loves film it doesn't fucking matter, think of how much pottery and statues were loved. it just doesn't matter in terms of cultural expression, and art doesn't actually ever alter the human soul, it's only a means of expression

i forget the question wait i just remembered. Tsai Ming-Liang and Terrence Malick have already dabbled in vr as far as i read, and big-name actor was an actor in such a movie, was it John Travolta i forget.

where are we headed? find out today in response posts. don't be such a fucking old person you can't even imagine.
