It’s A Feast For The Senses
Attention, lowly peasants – art is happening. Today I bring you an untitled “guerrilla performance” by “artist, healer and dancer” Shizu Homma, and an associate named aj, filmed in New York City, April 2010. Ms Homma tells us that she likes to “interrogate the human condition by searching for movement that exaggerates the behaviour of our species,” and that she’s “available for masterclasses, workshops, and choreography.” When not shaking the artistic landscape with her creative tremendousness, Ms Homma spends her time telling us, repeatedly, what kind of person she is.
Now feast ye. Gorge on that art.
Another “guerrilla performance” featuring Ms Homma, equally staggering in its scope and profundity, can be savoured here.
Cthulhu survived the night but I still can’t figure out what half those buttons are for. Can anyone recommend a friendly game forum where an old lady can ask about it without being scolded?
My rule: If an artist has to explain it, it’s crap.
I remember when my sister was very young, like 3 or 4, and this self-esteem crap was just starting to get traction. My parents, as they were instructed, instructed me not to ask her, in reference to her scribbled crayon drawings, “What is this a picture of?” but to say “That’s pretty. Explain it to me”. Because of course the former would be interpreted by the young child as a lack of competence. Which of course would damage her psyche. Two end points of a very long line. I of course say this because my psyche was irreparably damaged at a very young age by being asked “What is this a picture of?”. Thank God we’ve broken that cycle.
Far better that Homma be creating banal schlock and writing tweets extolling her attributes than being in a position of responsibility.
“The daughters of Dunning-Kruger, they walk among us.”
So much for ‘regression to the mean’ as an answer why the children of genius parents are not so likely to exceed the genius of their parents. There might be a gene or set of genes that carry a Dunning-Kruger expression, or it might be just a learnt thing in today’s university graduates. How you teach someone to exhibit Dunning-Kruger I don’t know, but the indications are that it starts early in school and has something to do with ‘narratives’ and the rejection of the concept of indisputable facts.

Oh goody! I look forward to seeing non European people forsaking and never using anything invented by Europeans ever again.
Parkour or performance art either way it’s really bad/
Am I the only one here that would rather watch Type III black asphalt steep drip in real time?

You watched it?
Believe it or not, I did. Years ago we took the kids to The La Brea Tar Pits (which translates to The The Tar Tar Pits) and they had an exhibit featuring dripping pit tar. A blob drips once a day or so.
If I find a live webcam I’ll post the link.

Oh. I meant watching the pretension video or whatever it was that David started things here with. Then again I pointedly don’t watch news either, that’s what reading is for—of course, though, I can read immensely faster that some twit can tell about random hearsay while staring into a camera.
Watching tar drip is bog standard science practice.
I’m real sorry, but if I don’t see a gorilla in the first 30 seconds, I stop watching.
