Yup . Can ' t have the breeding tanks getting away , can we ? s though that shouldn ' t be needed <| sep |> Then give me a reason not to discriminate <| sep |> Similarly , I ' m jumping from a pair of EVGA 660 ' s in SLI to a single 1060 . Blew the whole budget at once , but I ' m going to try to get some more RAM too from 8 gb of 1300 mhz to 16 gb of 1866 . <| sep |> Otherwise , it would probably make more sense to actually be in London . <| sep |> Even if y ' all don ' t read this I ' m so happy to get this off of my chest . <| sep |> some of it ain ' t , tho . and , like , I agree that some pieces are overpriced , but it ' s definitely not the artist who sets the price , more the dealer and their agent . the whole process is pretty convoluted . and some of it , I just don ' t understand , but some pieces make sense . like damien hirst ' s the physical impossibility of death in the mind of someone l i v i ngphysicalimpossibilityof . the title is what makes it make sense to me . cus , here ' s this shark , right , and to us jaw open , swimming through what looks like deep water even though we know it ' s dead , it still looks like a live shark , right ? just suspended , and still . even though we know it ' s dead , our brains go , ooh , looks like a live shark , even though the thing ' s not fucking moving and is stuck in a glass box . so the title makes sense . we can ' t fathom death bc we just can ' t relate to it . there is nothing that comes close , not even going under anaesthetic , because even then we wake up . no life experience that will make our brains look at that shark , and think anything but that looks like a swimming shark in open water . it ' s like a glass ceiling to us . we understand the concept of death and kicking the bucket , but we ' ll never empathise with it . so it ' s physically impossible for us , because we ' re still living . then you ' ve got other people , like ian davenport , who does stuff like contentuploads 201510 IanDavenport . jpg . and his whole thing is that in his own words I think can be overthought and overcomplicated , and take a lot of the energy out of stuff . ometimes people get too worried that they ' re missing the point , thinking there should be some sophisticated thing behind all art . But just your response to the colour can be enough . and that ' s pretty cool too , because his work is kinda meta . It ' s super simple , but at the same time , is a really pretty middle finger to art critics trying to find some kind of sophisticated meaning in his work . And , to be honest , I like his work . I like colour and I like nice colour combinations . He uses gloss paint because it ' s cheaper than fancy stuff . I appreciate that simplicity . It ' s cool . Even if the prices are high . You ' re not paying for labour value , necessarily , but you are paying for a sophisticated concept . Even if it is really expensive . I could go on about this shit for days . I ' m not a good art student , and I don ' t pretend to be , but I ' m good at writing about it . You don ' t have to like all art . I visited the Tate Modern and I didn ' t like it very much . Seemed a bit tryhard . The best part about it was this r o o m m o d e r n d i s p l a y t a n k s dominiquegonzalezfoerster , because my friends and I had fun making shadows on the wall , and I thought the concept was funny and ironic . tldr Some of it is snobby . Most of it I don ' t understand . The prices are more inflation than anything else . But it ' s not all worthless stuff on a wall .
