I’m kinda partial to the hidden message you get when you play it backwards. Something about Bush drinking freedom’s blood or something like that. May not of been a hidden message. Maybe the artist just used that computer screen after he used it for some other piece of art. Y’know, like how the renaissance masters used to reuse canvases.
But it was hell on the monitor, to stick in on the record player like that and try to play it backwards. Damned if I know how to get the scratches out of the LCD screen.
It is so provocative and visually stunning that it practically begs to have it’s naughty bits covered. Now, pass me another fried mozzarella nugget, wouldja?
The sinopial didacticism screams through the overlay of nothingness. A brilliant if presumptuously droll fusion of text / not-text and image / non-image.
And then a young child asked “Mommy, why is the man with the crown naked?”
TW: along25. Along came 25 State Security troops, who swiftly arrested mother and child for their subversive actions. The child is presently in a reeducation camp, but the mother was not so fortunate.
I like the use of negative space. It’s very subtle nod to such classics as “Vanilla Icecream on lens”, “Martha Stewart on sheet cleaning day”, “Mother Thersa’s darkest thought” and the eternal classic “Polar bear in a snow storm.”
I’m just waiting for you to get fat and rich so you can get into your “Red Period” and do a tryptic dedicated to Labatt’s and Calgary Flames Girls. (nsfw)
You are an obvious fraud as you forgot the garlic and thyme infused Hollandaise Sauce, the side of batter dipped extra crispy personal liberties and a delectible dessert of worldwide global economic imperialism topped with hot Madagascar fudge and a sprinkle of twice baked tortured non-combatants…
Silly! You can’t bathe in spilled blood! You need a tub! And a well-insulated electric coil under the tub to keep everything all nice and warm so it doesn’t coagulate too fast. Or maybe a nice little gas burner would do the trick…
Don’t they teach you young ‘uns anything in Evil Overlord Academy these days?
You see? It’s a moment extended into what seems eternity.
And yes, it practically dazzles.
Now. Off to brush knowingly against the leg of the legal system.
Irony consumes me, and I weep.
Or do I???
I would wager that nothing so fine as this work of art hangs in the courthouse…
Reminds me of “Consumptive Girl Returning from Her First Communion in a Snowstorm.”
I think it was by Alphonse Allais-
All I see is I need to dust my monitor.
I don’t understand Art.

Don’t brush it, hump it.

I thought Byrd was more Populist than Totalitarian, but you are the expert.
Plangent
I think you deserve an NEA Grant.
Ken, you must try the Merlot.
Actually, somebody stole it last night.
You mooks are all starin’ at a blank wall. Congratulations.

That link wasn’t completely work safe. Otherwise, great post.
ha, this has got to be one of the highlights of my day.
I just saw this
(nsfw)
Please disregard my previous post. I saw Flame girls and went for it.
“Respect mah authoritah!” —uttered by Bush while munching the broken bits and PIECES OF DEMOCRACY!
hmm..
I see dead people…
Oh, wait! It’s just Imus.
EAT SOMETHING!!
Chip Ahoy;

Harumph. I see no dogs playing poker, so where’s the aesthetic value?
To repeat a stolen quote I’ve oft used:
Less artsy, more fartsy.
(acrylic on canvas) and (white on white)
“Fear my strategeryâ€Ââ€â€GW Bush, uttered while bathing in the spilled BLOOD OF FREEDOM!
…and scrubbing himself with Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s lufa.

Oddly, it looks just like my nude, shaved, Scandanavian cheerleader on snow.
The guy who sold it to me said it was an original.
“Spilled Blood.” Hmmph.
This is what happens when you let an MBA get into the White House instead of a JD.
Palimpsest. It’s nearly Ecovian in its execution.
I applaud myself. With one hand. Clapping.
Or do I?
