$17 million crap

[essentialsaltes]

= $17,368,000.

Becca? Ice? Toren? Joyce? Anyone? Bueller? They look pretty easy to fake. I bet we could sell them out of the back of a van. "Psssst? Buddy... you wanna Rothko or a Mondrian, cheap? $5 million for one, or get two for $8 million."

ok, i shouldnt discredit all performance artists. there are a few that are good. chris burden comes to mind. he's interesting without being overtly egotistical. maybe that's just because he's incredibly masochistic... all for art, right?

i think, from the little i just read, that improv everywhere isn't performance art. i think to call it performance art it has to be evocative, have a point, and get that or some point across to the audience. if you leave your audience confused and muddled, what was the damn point?

survival research labs looks interesting. i see it as more performance than art. i sort of feel the same way about rabbit in the moon. amazing performance, but was it just a stage performance or was it art? or maybe it has pieces of both. mmm ambiguity. the survival research labs people need a better front end designer for their site. :d

im just disgruntled.

Maybe that was the point...to question the vast void that can separate two people standing right next to each other with a simple pair of headphones.

I kinda think SRL folded, or is just hanging on. Their website is probably last of their concerns.

im just disgruntled.
What else could you be?

Go to bed.

yeah but i often feel that way about performance art that actually has a really long explanation. and it's not that im completely dense [most of the time], it's just that i totally didn't see it
