The most delightful web interface ever.

The website is for artist Esao Andrews. It's fun to play with. Flowers bloom, monkeys turn around, lots of cool things happen. Go, click, enjoy.

Amazing stuff. I like when you click on "paintings"

Shocho said...

Yes, I thought you would like that.

This is just more positive proof that I don't understand "art". Ballerina Feet just creeped me out. If I have a boil on my ass, is it art? Who knows. My 1976 Wonder Woman poster was enough art for me.

Mark...yer old.

Shocho said...

He didn't click on "paintings."

I didn't like the feet either, one of the two ugliest things on the human body.

And yes, the boil on your ass is art. What the artist shits is art. Some art, however, ain't too good.

When you drag the pointer across the mirror, that's a nice touch. But yeah, my vote goes for the goth chick's flaming panties too.

Mkae -- I'm with you. I've never understood "art." Or. to paraphrase the title character in Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience:

"If that's art, then I don't like art. It frightens me!"

Mkae said...

Girard: Yes, I'm old.

Shocho: Yes, I clicked on paintings but having a four year old daughter makes such conversations uncomfortable.

Also, did no one else notice that Shocho said that the feet are one of the "two ugliest things on the human body". I think a blog entry ranking his top 10 ugliest body parts is in order. I want to know what the other one was.

Holy hell. That's just more proof that art seems to be for idiots with lots of money. A scribble on a piece of paper. .5mm of shit on a white box. There mere attempt to imbue such crap (pun intended) with deliberate and important intent is laughable.

To me, the Mona Lisa represents accomplishment and talent. This Friedman guy sounds like a clever hack who figured out how to work the system.

Maybe that's where the "art" lies.

Shocho said...

The Ugliest Body Parts list only has two entries. Feet and the other one.

The big misunderstanding about "art" IMO is that there's anything to understand. You either like a piece or you don't. Comics are art. Star Trek can be art. Grafitti can be art, etc.

It's all in the eye of the beholder. If Damien Hirst can get paid for half a dead sheep in formaldehyde, all power to him and pity the fool that parted with money for it.

Damn, but that's one clever site. Thanks for that. Not wild about the feet either, but whatever.
