OMG - I'm going to die...

[lovelydivot]

I've been minorly perplexed since I heard the MoMa
was going to house a large collection of pornography...

I could never really figure out why they, of all people/places...
would spend all that money to archive it.


But I think I finally figured it out - the connection....



discuss.




nobody...

I thought you guys would like this topic...



I haven't been much of a consumer of porn in my adulthood...

But I guess that's not really a truth in relation to the rest of humanity...

[lovelydivot]

although - I like and support everything they are doing whatever...

u ok hun?

[lovelydivot]

I'm Ok...

I was just away for a minute reading this....

http://www.reconomy.org/please-dont-pee ... repreneur/

It doesn't really offer any solutions - but it does draw attention to the...
...loose version of a strawman arguement that seems to be truth.


No - maybe I'm not ok...

I'm not sure what it is I'm trying to do here - right now...

I know what I'm not trying to do...
but I don't know what it is - I am - trying to do.

Help me with this....

I'm working on a project for a competition...
and this particular competition has a theme every year...

and I'm just questioning whether I should do it or not...
because I'm finding the concept of adhering to a theme
- to be a bit contrived...although my idea was already there...

I don't know if I feel like being an activist just to be part of the competition.

People will help you do anything if you say it's for whatever...
- breast cancer awareness - autism - no gmo whatever whatever...

Being sort if angry on a deeper level.

The theme is - CONFRONTATIONS


I'm already fully involved in making the necklace -
The components are almost fully made...
so the thing is going to be - and it is looking cool
but...I don't have to submit it...

Let me just stop flubbing.
I'm just complaining about doing something with a phony element.
- like another bit of professional porn.

Porn represents the extremes of commodified entertainment, 99.99% devoid of artistic merit. It's what happens when you let the market give people what they want to look at - and Magritte ain't on that list.

[nobody]

lol at the theme

[lovelydivot]

yea con-front...

That's what's fucking me up.



I'm about to call out - all of Japan - on a global platform.

what sort of comp? jewellery?

Yes.

Sierrad Internationals annual competition

Just about any item of jewelry could conceivably be weaponised by applying it properly to a confrontation, surely?

Broach? Throwing star.
Necklace? A decorative garrote.
Bracelet? Garrote for kids.
Earrings and Rings make beautifully ornate slingshot ammo.
Anklets are commonly known to be warnings of biological warfare... normally chlamydia.

So what exactly is this thread about now?
On the OP, I think it's partially due to the change over time in pornographic quality and content and what modern porn especially reveals about the consumers and the producers alike.


I don't mean to replicate the views expressed in that TED talk, but that did make me think a lot about this subject. Also the film DonJon touches on what I'm getting at. You could analyze porn in an artistic manner by looking at recurring events and symbols, as well as contrasting these details with what they evoke in the consumer. So it's valid artistic content/expression. It's a lot easier to do it with stuff that doesn't turn you on too, because you can look at it more graphically.

Again, not sure about the topic(s) in discussion here.

[rickyarbino]

This may, or may not, be relevant.
The artist who lays eggs with her vagina – or why performance art is so silly

I think that's the idea, treating porn as performance art as well as graphic art.
