seriously though, although I dont think of this as art I do however find it impressive if the person`s descrpition was true.So make sure you read the description.

It is a creative expression of someones idea,,so I consider it art...but not my particular artistic TASTE

well could ya describe wat exactly is going on here/ very interesting.

Yes, it creatively applies various principles of art-unity, variety, value, hue, etc.

I call this...dark art. I watched it and was like...WTH! Then I laughed (at some parts). The artist should hook up with Tim Burton.

Art? Yes, although what he is trying to say other than playing around with a camera I don't know.

graphic visual art produced by some psycho nut.

woo! back from the dead

hoo me back from the dead? yup u black and tan dobie, u got that right.

I meant the thread

Dobie or Min Pin???

id say full bodied dobie from the snout on that guy. talkin about the dog, not the thread.

More like 'Mister Bill Meets Monty Python in the Theater of the Absurd' ... I've had dreams like this after eating moldy cheese ...

Well


Tammy loved it!!!

The mind of an artist......

Sweet, kind of reminds me of a Tool video.

my first reaction was..wtf...then of course i had to link it to my facebook lol

At first I was thinking, yes, of course it is. But after about 30 seconds all I could see was imagery very derivative of other artists. Its basically a collage of Eraserhead, Twin Peaks, Corpse Bride, Nine Inch Nails videos and the opening credits of True Blood/American Horror Story.

Its a shame because its very well made, looks really cool and obviously cost a lot of time and money. But if someone is presenting something as original artwork, and borrows that heavily from other artist's work without building on it, commenting upon it or even acknowledging the sources... that's one of the very few things that, for me, instantly voids any claims to something being "art". Its a video. Its piece of work. But it can't be be a work of art in my book.

If you think I'm exaggerating about the extent of the similarities, just google "Twin Peaks Red Room", "Eraserhead Stop Motion Sequence", "David Lynch Short Films", "Corpse Bride", "NIN Closer" and I think someone else mentioned a Tool video, which wouldn't surprise me. There's so much art out there to know about, its easy to fool most people. Its easy to fool yourself! I'm sure this artist wasn't trying to pull a fast one or anything. He just isn't being critical enough to catch his influences seeping out of himself practically unmodified.

I hate to be a sourpuss about this, but real artists work hard to be original. Anyone can learn how to make something with enough time. Being original is the hardest part, and it gets harder every time someone else makes something original! I spend A LOT of time (that I'd rather spend just making something) refining, editing, discarding and scrutinizing my ideas to ensure that when I put my work out there, I can honestly call it mine and confidently call it art.

That is :05 of my life lost forever.

Well, I only watched half since I didn't want to waste another 2 minutes of my life watching the rest. But, technically, yes, it's art.

Art is in the eye of the beholder, just like beauty.
