Nuebot posted:If that's the big difference then it's a matter of success rather than intent. A lot of artists do their work because they need to eat and thus don't have the time or luxury to create grand pieces of their own pure creative drive. Some people manage to be successful one way or another - whether it's attaining a singular wealthy patron who pays them a lot for whatever they make, or specifically commissioned pieces - or simply managing to go viral more or less and becoming, or sparking, a cultural zeitgeist and winding up with their works in art galleries for more money than they could ever spend in their life (often the artist is dead when this happens.) Most artists never get lucky though and just toil away earning money while doing what they can to chip away at their dreams over their careers. Is 50 Shades of Grey "High Art" because it became internationally famous, while Master of the Universe "Low Art" because it was dumb fanfiction that might never have gone anywhere if the creator didn't get that initial push? when i say "art intended to be hung in a gallery" i dont really mean explicitly "the louvre" or museums of that caliber. i mean art intended for galleries, whether that's a local coffee shop's art corner, a gallery on main street, the met or otherwise. its part of the framing of the work. i also do not think it's weird to suggest that whether or not the work succeeds is part of criticism. intent is just part of that mish-mash of things one might consider considering when approaching the work. the means by which the metaphorical food ends up on our plate is just as important as the final meal. the sociological frameworks at play in art should be examined and critiqued as well as the art itself devoid of context. the separation of "high" and "low" art is not a quality judgment the way im trying to use it. i really want to make that clear. i know it seems like it because thats how literally every other person on planet earth uses it but im trying to use something other than stephen king's writing metaphors to describe "art that satisfies but provides 0 sustenance".

What I'm getting from all this discussion is that art is the act of getting your hand caught in a moving bicycle chain.

The Star Fox Lust Penis comic is the highest form of 21st century art. (Probably don't need to say that its nsfw if you're curious).

I legitimately don't know if you're making GBS threads on Inferno, a single portion of an epic poem that essentially formed the basis for the Italian language as we know it today, or Dante's Inferno the terrible videogame based on a Cliffs Notes Classics book. I wanted to make a joke about there not being a good volcano movie in 30 years, but it turns out that was named Dante's Peak.

BizarroAzrael posted:Wait, doesn't Esperanto have like 300 words? And one of them is for incubus? It has a bunch of simple prefixes/suffixes that give context, to make it easier to learn. Guessing the bo at the end there makes the word in to just the esperanto equivalent of "Incu-man" e: Apparently it's even simpler than that and just any Esperanto noun that refers to what a person does for a living is masculine unless it ends in -ino, so the Esperanto word for succubus is inkubino.

I had real literature type author Alasdair Gray come to my school and talk about how his first experience of writing was doing a fanfic to fix the ending of a fantasy book who's last chapters annoyed him so much he couldn't let it stand. Then a classmate asked him questions about his life based on his article in Encarta 95, which turned out to completely wrong about everything in his life, leading to some real sureallist comedy. Best guest we ever had, frankly.

Sarah Z has a slightly more active tone but they've both been doing deep-dives into weird bits of internet/pop culture recently.

In addition to Sarah Z, Quinton Reviews does a lot of niche dives into different topics and analyses of movies and stuff. The Sphere Hunter has a pretty calm tone and primarily talks about past/present video games she likes. Super Eyepatch Wolf does a mix of media stuff and has possibly the most soothing voice ever.
