See This That Art Bullshit I’m Talking About With This Dude Naked In a Box Live Streaming himself

Leave a reply

When 23-year-old art student Almar Atlason announced that he would live-stream an entire week of himself confined naked in a glass box, he said it was part of a class project at the Iceland Academy of the Arts.

Now that he's been caught masturbating on YouTube, he might consider a more hands on major, perhaps an independent study. The Iceland Monitor reported that on day six of the project Atlason got a little too excited and began pleasuring himself. The Monitor reports YouTube stopped the stream, raising the possibility that he had violated the company's terms of service. However, Altason's wife, Salka Valsdóttir, told The Huffington Post via Facebook that the stream was merely interrupted briefly because of a technological issue. "I think it was only down for a couple of minutes. It was not because of the content, just bad Internet connection but a very funny coincidence," she said. A Monitor reporter confirmed to HuffPost that video of the masturbation incident was posted to YouTube, but was subsequently flagged and taken down.

Nothing, but here he is just wasting away in a glass box like an asshole thinking the world wants to see his ass sitting there naked reading books and jerking off to no real porn. All for the name of that stupid Art shit.

A Kid Trips And Punches A Whole Right Through A $1.5 Million Dollar Painting

Leave a reply
Taipei, Aug. 24 (CNA) A Taiwanese boy on Sunday punched a hole in an extremely valuable Paolo Porpora painting at a Taipei exhibition after apparently tripping and trying to catch his balance on the artwork, according to the surveillance tape provided by the organizers on Monday. The 12-year-old boy may have gotten lucky, however, because the organizers will not ask the boy's family to pay for the cost of restoring the damaged painting, displayed as part of "The Face of Leonardo, Images of a Genius" exhibition at Huashan 1914 Creative Park. According to Sun Chi-hsuan (孫紀璿), the head of exhibition co-organizer TST Art of Discovery Co. (京銓藝術), the 200-centimeter tall painting is around 350 years old and valued at over NT$50 million (US$1.5 million). In the tape, the 12-year-old was seen tripping over a rope barrier post while walking near the 17th century oil painting "Flowers." As he stumbled toward the painting, he extended his arms to keep from falling, making contact with the artwork and leaving a hole the size of a fist. Andrea Rossi, curator of the exhibition, was shocked after learning about the incident on Sunday, Sun said, adding that Rossi will discuss restoring the painting in Taiwan with a Taiwanese art restorer on Monday before shipping it back to Italy. Sun said the boy was visiting the exhibition with his mother and was probably not aware of his surroundings because he was focused on the guided tour. According to Sun, the boy was very nervous, but Rossi asked that the boy not be blamed and that the family not be asked to pay for the cost of the restoration. Sun said the organizers will ask the insurance company to cover restoration costs and compensate the owner of the painting. It is the first time that a valuable painting on loan in Taiwan has suffered such major damage. "The Face of Leonardo, Images of a Genius" exhibition is displaying over 50 authentic paintings by prominent artists from the Italian Renaissance period to the 20th century, organizers said. The exhibition was temporarily closed on Monday morning, before reopening in the afternoon. "All 55 paintings in the venue are authentic pieces and they are very rare and precious. Once these works are damaged, they are permanently damaged...we hope that everyone can protect these precious artworks with us," TST Art of Discovery said in a post on the exhibition's official Facebook page. Sun said an 80 centimeter distance was maintained between each painting and visitors so that visitors would not get too close to the artwork. When the incident occurred, there were around 200 to 300 visitors in the venue, within the allowed limit, he said. (By Christie Chen and Sabine Cheng)

Before realizing this was a dead painter, i was gonna say this is a positive for him and i stand by that. Art is so god damn annoying sometimes these ridiculously high cost that are equal to real estate property for some simple brush strokes and shit and a blob of paint on a canvas smeared about. This painting was just a big ass painting of a flower vase. As if a painting of a flower vase and a real life flower vase give me different feelings. They both are just things that cost money that do nothing for my enjoyment. Now me, if i were to own that painting or were a shitty artist iwould just put out an insurance policy and just set up a scheme where a clumsy ass kid just trips and punches a whole straight through the thing. I dont want a shitty painting of a flower but i do want to collect guaranteed millions for it. No guarantees that a painting sells, but when you have a million dollar policy and your signature on the dotted lines of that policy then its kind of a win.

I dont fully know how insurance works for art/anything but im almost sure thats right.

An Australian Professor Grew An Ear On His Arm And Plans To Hook It Up to Wifi so Everyone Can Hear Him.

Leave a reply
Source- An artist who is growing an ear out of his arm has revealed how he plans to connect it to the internet so people can use it to listen to him. Australian oddball Stelarc has told how he wants to make the extra organ a porthole for people to listen in to his life, wherever they may be. The Curtin University professor, real name Stelios Arcadiou, originally came up with the idea for the ear back in 1996 and managed to convince a team of boffins to go ahead with it using his own tissue samples. Early attempts to install a microchip proved fruitless, but now the 69-year-old has announced plans to use his own stem cells to make the ear more three dimensional so that the microchip can be put in without the possibility of infection, and then linked up to wireless internet. He told ABC: "This ear is not for me, I've got two good ears to hear with. This ear is a remote listening device for people in other places.

The bottom line to this guy is that you have to be suuuper cocky to believe that ANY ONE wants to listen you you blabble 24/7 over the internet and through your wonky gross arm ear all all things. I mean spending twenty years boiling over the thought that people want to listen to you sooo much from your arm ear is cocky. He just pursued the idea for 20 years. twenty years. Thats insane. So much so that this guy probably as insane as Hitler. Oh you want to make sure your propaganda is spewing 24/7 from your arm ear? I bet hitler wanted to broadcast his kampf to millions of the arian nation too he just wasn’t looney enough to have an ear grown right in the middle of his forearm (and probs lacked the tech.)

This also is another reason why i hate a lot of art hipsters. Always wanting to be weird and show off and all of it to some degree is because they’re craving attention. “Oh look at my funky hair cut, i draw lines on this canvas to convey my emotions. oh look at my arm ear, i want the world to listen to everything i say.” So annoying. The worst.
