I don't agree with this guy politically but I really like his art. It's not entirely original but it captures the isolating and wasteful feeling of the 21st century. He talks about the current governments bringing in a dystopia but it seems that some of the measures proposed to solve social and environmental problems are rather dystopian in themselves and don't really solve the problems. Carbon credits, for example, are an invention of the fossil fuel industry to deflect attention away from themselves and onto the public. The part about _universal early retirement_ played as a satire of UBI. You know that it would come at a cost you're just not going to acknowledge that - the deafening silence only serves to highlight this problem. Just my opinion :)

nice to see someone else thinking things through. PS: since you got the right ideas, allow me to correct one detail cause I think you'd find interesting and useful. There are no fossils in our fuels. It makes more sense than the scarcity, fear-mongering, "humans are destroying the world and all it resources" narrative that tells us a billion T-Rex all died in a single pile, then nature pulverized their rotting carcasses over 200million years into a puddle of gasoline....

this strikes a cord ... 8:00min what he means is : we become the drugs that we take

Hm, not sure I find the struggle of the New York creative class that compelling in a world where people are making T-shirts in slums in Bangladesh.

[@simondeschamps3753]

The point of the work isn’t to make you feel bad for artists. It’s about how artists’ relationship with their labor became a model for the rest of society and why so many people aspire to do this kind of creative work

Curators should be prohibited to make art!

My god, come up with an original idea! There are loads of schlubs out here with new and exciting things to share. Instead, we have guys like this harping the same old blah-blah-blah, and with no skill outside of marketing themselves. Show us people making things, not recycling tired ideas, and making casts from molds of other's work. Stuff like this is even shown to a super insulated crowd, and that crowd has money. It's not even affecting the world on any scale, despite the "I'm trying to change to world" message.

Con Art.

"literally on fire" I wish people would fact-check themselves before saying stupid things. Instead of listening to propaganda, go research primary source material. There is no climate crisis.
