The soyjack 100+ hours professional art creator VS the Chad 2 second "big milkers" ai generator artist

[@ruuman]

Shit, that was perfect. Strangely enough I was at German art museum at the weekend, the town has a beautiful cathedral and a lot of paintings and carving from the 1200s and onwards are in the museum. It also had a huge modern art section right next to the historic. When you marvel at the skill and beauty of a 600 year old biblical scene and then next to it is a blue square with an orange square that took all of 5 seconds, I get the feeling there might be some parallels!

[@RuddsReels]

Yes, it just shows that our civilization has fallen!

[@DonVigaDeFierro]

I respect the stupid square. It's a sign the artist was clever enough to scam a few hundred thousands from some snobbish rich idiots.

[@scintillam_dei]

Liberalism is shit. Creationists made Europe great but atheists hijacked and ruined it.

[@Sir_Bucket]

​@@RuddsReels fun fact, a lot of people throughout History agree with you! Here are a few examples: The SS party in Germany gathered all of the german art they could find that didn't fit the n*zi romantism and put it in an exposition talking about how ugly and awful this art was, how it was made by artists paid with taxpayers dollars, and how much it's a sign of how far culture has fallen Jesse Helms was a north carolina (USA) politician who spent his career defending "true art" and calling out how low the american culture had fallen. By that he meant pointing his finger and yelling at Mapplethorpe, a photographer who took pictures of intimicy and sexual acts, no matter the gender. Saying that culture has fallen because you don't like modern art is a very dangerous idea. Especially since modern art's goal is to challenge the idea of what is art, and to make you ask questions about that. You can dislike it, but it's a sign of cultural decadence invites whoever is in charge to censor it because it's not "true art". Who decide what true art is? Whoever is in charge, and chances are they won't like subversive themes. Imagine if someone decided to censor Monet because he was painting in impressionism style and that's not "true art".

[@Sir_Bucket]

​​@@asdadsgsaadasf6043 tbh, "piss christ" (an art piece which is litteraly a plastic cross plunged into urine) could be considered vile but you also could have entire discussions about whether or not this is ok to do. That's why I like modern art
