Congratulations, Mr. "Artist," you're a retard. Here's your art show prize:

It looks like a torture device from one of the SAW movies.

The only thing worse than most art installations is the "art-speak" used to describe them.

I don't mind so much the artsy ideas this attempts to convey, it's actually a bit clever on some level, but, by the gods, what has happened to the idea of having some trifle of craftsmanship in art. That thing looks like it was duct taped together by my ass.

The piece is called "The Open" and was created by Mattia Casalegno who describes the work as something which "plays with the Deleuzian notion of "ritornell" (refrain), and about the quality of sound to define a territory."

...When in fact it's really just a retarded mess of wire hangers and dirt.

I was gonna give the artist some credit, thinking maybe this was a way to connect yourself to nature and remind yourself of the delicate balance between plants and animals with regards to the carbon cycle. But ritornell? fark off.

It got you all talking about it, therefore the art succeeded.

There are molds, fungus and bacteria in soil that you DO NOT want to touch, much less inhale.

Ever see that dude whose entire face was scooped out a la Joe Bonham ("Johnny Got His Gun")? That was a fungus that had set up shop in his sinus before eating his face from the inside.

So many other cool ways to think about Deleuze...why this one?

Surfing is a MUCH better metaphor for Deleuze than grass attached to the face. The artist didn't even try very hard.

Your irrational fear of dirt amuses me greatly. If a fungal infection can set up shop in your face, your immune system is compromised.

Also the guy being referred to (IIRC) had no sense of household hygiene, the fungus that got him was from bread mold

Catchphrase/big name + ridiculous idea = lots of people talking.

I should be doing that myself, but I have this thing about putting interesting concepts into my work.

For me, one of the most curious things about this piece is its wonderful afunctionalism. Divorced from its function and seen purely as a piece of art, its structure of light and colour is curiously counter-pointed by the redundant vestiges of its function. And since it has no call to be here, the art lies in the fact that it is here.

Exquisite, absolutely exquisite.
