Michael 533 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 This does nothing for me? I actually find it a really sort of boring collage of supposed provocations that don't coalesce into anything meaningful, that have little synergy, and don't build off of one another? It's the precise kind of video I worry Gaga will someday make: a series of surrealistic and provocative images that...actually aren't very provocative, a bit tired, and don't add up to anything that speaks to me. I was bored, first shot to last. The most I can say is that I like how it looks letterboxed, but then the owls occasionally break that plane. That was fun, lol. But who says that that can't be great art? Back in 60's Andy Warhol made films of people starring into camera lenses for 30 minutes straight, which are now seen as serious meaningful art pieces that are played on loop at art galleries.

kupo 201 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 But who says that that can't be great art? Back in 60's Andy Warhol made films of people starring into camera lenses for 30 minutes straight, which are now seen as serious meaningful art pieces that are played on loop at art galleries. Yes, and that's great art when considered in context. Pop art as a movement was all about reconfiguring notions of what made something "art" to begin with. Lichtenstein reproducing comic panels large scale was meant to deliberately question notions of originality, meant to remove the "human touch" from art to see what remained. Or going back to the Dada movement, Duchamp can mount a urinal and call it art, and it's brilliant because it's a deliberate middle finger to a privileged "establishment." These art works are functioning on conceptual planes that I don't see here at all. This just feels like a collection of surreal and provocative images. But unlike great surrealist images, I don't see these communicating anything deeper, nor do they have any wit, nor are they particularly aesthetically engaging (the mechanical bull in storm perhaps being the closest to attaining an interesting look/effect). This feels like the kind of "experimental" films a bunch of film school noobs would make. And I was part of a film program--I've sat through plenty of painful student films.

But that's my problem: they're not interesting images, really. Like I said, great surrealist imagery doesn't have to accomplish just one thing--certain surrealists tried to render their subconscious and thereby communicate something primal (think Dali), but they can be more purely matters of aesthetic (Tanguy, or frottage techniques, or even the wit of Magritte's paintings). But I just don't think most of these images are very inspired on any level. But I'm not gonna write much more on the topic. I don't want to squash other peoples' love or appreciation. To each their own. I'm just a bit disappointed, because I thoroughly enjoyed pretty much everything about the 1991 period for Azealia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inuborg 4,136 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 It seems like the BWET era is going to trun away the 1991 era fans, just as the BTW era turned off a lot of TF/M fans. It's not like its a bad thing but artists have to evolve. Well, I don't disagree with that. But that's my problem: they're not interesting images, really.
