Modern art.... is kinda like memes
#putting my explanation in the tags so you can pretend this is just a shit post if you want but like the thing about modern art is that a lot#of people say 'oh i could do that it isnt art' and the common rebuttal is 'then why didnt you?' even though certain pieces did involve a#good amount of technical skill (ex that painting with no visual brush strokes) and these works of art are used as a form of social#commentary and you see memes are the same thing. most people could make certain memes you could take an image and change the text to be#funny but why didnt you make that meme? you didnt think of it first someone else did but there isnt that same aire of pretensiousnes around#memes like there is around art because theyre 'just' silly internet images so people dont really discount memes as something anyone can do#theyre lauded for that and there are in fact some memes that require a good deal of technical skill (ex photoshop or drawing) and theyre#also often used as as a form of commentary. the weight of the commentary or quality of the comedy cause both memes and modern art to become#popular. think about the urinal labled a work of art its funny its a fuck you to the stiff rules of art. thats exactly what memes are: a#parody made from something that already exists that is fairly easy (or seemingly easy) to create made for commentary#jshaiaidisjs ive conncected the dots (you didnt connect shit) ive connected them!#mike says words
