Lol. Hatemail art.

Pygmy seahorses have been discovered! They're about 13.8 mm. long.



How to eat a dragon fruit (Pitaya)!



In order to eat this sweet, crunchy fruit you should slice it in half then scoop out the white with black speck colored flesh whole. Then, you should make sure that none of the pink skin is on the flesh. Finally, you should slice the inside of the fruit up into cubes and use the colorful rind for a bowl.



The flowers can be steeped to make tea.

Sea urchins and starfish are great examples of fractals in nature!

Lol. Apfelmännchen in RealLife (Apelman is a German Word for Mandelbrotset)

Love the SeaUrchinpicture.. it looks like a MadRandomFractalTexture generated put on two spheres...

PS: The Seahorsepicturelink doesen┬┤t work... please repost.

The seahorse pic looks ok on my screen, but here's a link to a video anyway:

man, those "shock" artists make me rage so much.

for my next exhibition, i will put TINKEBELL in a cage and watch her wrestle a bear.

i dunno, it just seems like such a copout... "i'll figure out something that will really offend people, then give it artistic meaning." the same sort of person who goes to art college because they suck at everything else, discovers they have no technical talent, and goes into photography or film classes.

Art is all about marketing..

[Boirunner]

picasso, someone really needs to tell you this:

in english, you cannot put two nouns together to form a new one. using camelcase does not make this valid, either. just write the two nouns after each other, with a space in between, and you'll be fine. i know this works in german, but in english, it just doesn't.

it's why words like wanderlust or zeitgeist are used in english, btw.

[Gota]

Zeitgeist is an awesome word.
It feels kinda warm and comforting but it shouldnt.

[Snipawolf]

Ah, it's fine and easily understandable. His English is better than half the people I text/im/talk to IRL and it's their only damn language.

[Gota]

If you can understand someone fine does he really need to use proper english?I mean,why?for the sake of correctness?Haven't we gone beyond that yet?Now its all about efficiency.

[KaiserJ]

Art is all about marketing..

its sad really. we've gone from scratching images of ourselves onto the walls of caves to creating a handbag out of a cat : the pinnacle of human evolution and culture.

do something hideous, call it installation art, and get on the news.

idea : can we popularize spring like this?

[Gota]

Need a gimmick or something sensational even if its negative.

[Strategia]

On the topic of immoral art and walls of text: I'm accidentally taking an art philosophy class at the moment, and we have to write a brief essay (500w) twice a week. Here are two of mine, considering, respectively, pornography, erotica and art and immoral art in general. I'd post only the last one, but I wrote it at around 2AM and it's so disjointed that its main point, if there is one, gets lost in the confusion, and anyway, erotica/pornography borders on the real of immoral art.

28 is pornography, 8 is immoral in general.

Enjoy. Or rather, don't - if any of you actually enjoy what I've written, you need help.

Making a Comdrop Handbag? Or lets disguise Strategia as Marqui de Sade and print T-Shirts with is Photo..

PS: Another great Link.. a testimony of a woman who was sent to a workcamp in North Korea. Tough Tobak, like Stalins Gulag, so don┬┤t read if you have plans to eat directly afterwards. I have to admit that some of the Information is so brutal i considered it cheap Propaganda for a while- but on second thought - why should she lie? There is no way of isolating that country further, and if only half of the stuff is true it is still horrible enough.... leave it to your judgment.
