this is good. ai weiwei does some cool stuff but a lot of what he does benefits from the fact that he's a dissident (ie is uninteresting on its own merits) the subj has overtaken his objs of production imo

just because he does extremely overt political/social commentary pieces every once in awhile doesnt reduce any artistic merit found in the rest of his work

i'm saying that people's attitudes about his work are influenced by his public persona. for example, that metal video is dumb & bad. instead of saying 'here's a thing that's cool (by ai weiwei)' people say 'ai weiwei is cool (here's a thing)'

is it good? isnt a confrontational disdain for cultural tradition the oldest trick in the modernists book? its the kind of thing a teenager would do, it is not particularly shocking, just a bit pointless and sad, a played out parlour trick.

ugh why can't people enjoy art based on its own intrinsic aesthetic value, divorced from the artist or its context, that is totally a thing that exists

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
