Sick stuff!

I'm not going to follow the link, because I'm in class right now, but furry art is some of the funniest stuff out there. If you're ever bored and feel the need to be disgusted with the internet-using portion of the human race, just do a GIS for furry art or "yiffing". Hehe.

because I like 'em :)

Ill? no, I don't think so! I love it.

Why is it ill? Because it is different than what our perception is used to?

The purpose of art is to show us a different view of our reality or to show us a different reality, right?

What we are used to see we accept, but what is different we automatically reject.

I sat through a very interesting lecture a few months ago, where the topic was "the new buetiful".

The speakers point was that we, the human race, are getting bored of the "standard beuty" that we have been looking at for the last decades. Our new "beuty"" is the slightly different. You can see this in models. The really hip models today are not the supermodels like Twiggy, but "regular" people that really have "character".

He also said that as time goes by, we'll be looking at more and more "ugly" things to find beuty. He ended the lecture with showing us pictures from a fashion show, where the people were all mutilated (all done in a computer of course) and just plain wierd. This, he said, was the biggest hit today.

I don't know how far this has really gone, and I for one don't wan't to look at mutilated models... but he has a point. Our interest zone is really moving... and most likely all thanks to the internet and TV.

interesting. i think i have to agree. this is where the world is going.

nowadays even fashion photography is less artificial and plastic as it used to be. photographers try to retain the texture of the skin of their model to keep them alive on the pictures. inperfections make the models more approachable therefore more likeable. few people are attracted to plastic faces anymore.

i'm sure that soon weird and sick (in my terms) stuff will rule.
