" art: brain fart "

---

BTMBRKT: ugh work
BTMBRKT: yay money
weederman23: i know
BTMBRKT: but ughhh the work
weederman23: so sad
weederman23: http://www.nikonusa.com/template.php?cat=1&grp=2&productNr=25412#
weederman23: and that just came out
weederman23: mocking my hate for digital by making me want it
weederman23: boo
weederman23: and the tagline?
weederman23: it's so...translated from japanese into english
BTMBRKT: man this is the cheapest website
weederman23: flash!
weederman23: zoom!!
weederman23: swishay!!!
BTMBRKT: get job. buy camera
weederman23: that seems to be the consumeristic/artistic drive
weederman23: to be an artist you have to be a consumer
BTMBRKT: or go downtown buy a cheap knockoff Nikron camera
weederman23: or like a new Minorta
weederman23: the message is so backwards
BTMBRKT: exactly, you have to be a consumer, in order to produce art against consumerism
weederman23: yes
weederman23: "but i went to art school"
weederman23: "i need this specific all-too-expensive type of material"
weederman23: "i want to affect change"
weederman23: lies!!!
weederman23: or at least it seems that way when you're poor
BTMBRKT: but suffering creates great art
weederman23: mediocre art creates great suffering
weederman23: it's all about balance
BTMBRKT: exactly
