Not crazy, just weird

An apple meets the marshmallow today.

Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences. (Roy Ascott’s phrase.) That solves a lot of problems: we don’t have to argue whether photographs are art, or whether performances are art, or whether Carl Andre’s bricks or Andrew Serranos’s piss or Little Richard’s ‘Long Tall Sally’ are art, because we say, ‘Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen.’ … [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you — so the value of the work lies in the degree to which it can help you have the kind of experience that you call art.

I could reblog/post this every day as a constant reminder.

And I’m sticking it up here for people who define the “good” in Make good art in ways that I definitely didn’t intend…

27. The Great Gatsby
Despite the many issues with it, I liked it. And you know what? I LOVED the anachronistic music.
(Except the music for the place behind the barbershop. That was weird)

Limitless (USA, 2011)

Number 26

Gymnosomata, commonly known as Sea Angels. An apt name- the sea angels are the ethereal, translucent, fluttering angels of the sea. 

In hard scientific terms, they’re small swimming sea slugs, but we’ll pass over that for now and just admire how delicately beautiful these wonderful creatures are.

I mean, it’s probably pretty natural for me to take umbrage at the idea of flyover states, like the only places that matter are New York and LA.

Because Minneapolis is a fucking world class city. You want theatre, we are second only to NYC in theatre seats per capita.

25. Billy Jack
Let’s begin with the fact that I had to watch this and end with the fact that I sort of hated it.

24. Iron Man 3
Let’s be honest: my favorite part of this movie was the extra scene at the end.

Hyperbole and a Half, Depression Part Two

And that’s the most frustrating thing about depression. It isn’t always something you can fight back against with hope. It isn’t even something — it’s nothing. And you can’t combat nothing. You can’t fill it up. You can’t cover it. It’s just there, pulling the meaning out of everything. That being the case, all the hopeful, proactive solutions start to sound completely insane in contrast to the scope of the problem.

It would be like having a bunch of dead fish, but no one around you will acknowledge that the fish are dead. Instead, they offer to help you look for the fish or try to help you figure out why they disappeared.
