please dont let academia ruin your brain

if you think there is something deep or meritorious about marcel duchamp, dada, or art like this in general, you need to seek spiritual counsel immediately. this is not a joke or an attempt to own anyone. its unironically a sign that your soul is ill and you need to do something

jokes on you owen, we were just accelerating the decline of western art and permanently forcing western artists and academics into a position of detached critical irony as a joke. its actually about how those things are bad even though everyone thinks theyre good now, got you lol

if you have to read something about a piece of visual art to understand why its good, unless its merit is due to its extreme age or something, then it probably sucks

if this is controversial so be it. i am here to be controversial

the large number of people upset at someone saying this art is stupid and acting like i must be missing something here are beyond parody
