Huh, I could have made that!

The fact of the matter is that this event is being mentioned here over six years after it happened.

Are we going to discuss the event?

Yes, I was thinking that, too.
I wonder if there is an opposite type of art which showcases OCD?

Yes.

I will devise one for you now.

Place a rectangular sheet of paper on a rectangular table.

Is an edge of the paper parallel to the edge of the table?

Do you need it to be?

No, I don't need it to be.
In fact I would put it off sided, I think.

I asked on a thread here years ago if people needed symmetry in their lives: ornaments lined up to some sort of order?

What about you, stardreamer?
Would your paper need to be straight?

Also, the glasses.
Art?

The more modern art I see and the more I learn about it and from it the more interesting it becomes to me.

Far-right, anti-immigration, anti-feminist, anti-Islam, anti-racist conspiracy theorist Paul Joseph Watson's isn't a source I'd imagine will influence my thinking.

I don't like to hear this man calling a woman a bitch.

I just thought of another one.

If you have twenty-five buttons and you need to place them in a 5 by 5 grid pattern spaced out on a table, and twenty-four of the buttons are white, and one is pink, where in the grid does the pink one get placed, and why?

Can you find the thread please?

This is getting interesting in an unsuspected way ...

There are lots of MoMA videos on YouTube.

I decided I'm not that worried.

Absolutely brilliant thank you so much for posting that…??????????

I dislike going to an exhibition where the artist has written reams about the work and their thoughts and intentions behind it. If I can’t see the point, then they have failed. ( I have 2 art degrees so do know what it is all about )

So what do you think about the 17 year old putting his glasses down and people taking photos and discussing them as art, MrsKen please?
I have no idea.

Here is a link to the thread.

LINK > Symmetry

Oh I'd forgotten it was the floor that sparked the question.

Years ago I went to the MOMA in New York. There was a HUGE pile of sweets (wrapped) on the floor, it was art. We were invited to have a sweet, as by taking one, we would be altering this artwork and presenting a different view to the next person.
I'm sorry, I just don't get/understand/appreciate this as art.

As you can see, I decided to play it safe next time around.
No lines.

Right in the middle; it has to be, otherwise it wouldn't be neat and tidy!

Where was he? Was he an art student trying to be trendy and pretentious.? The link didn’t work. I would have to see for myself. If I could see the reasoning behind it then yes art it might be. But I think some sort of ‘talent’ should be evident.
Otherwise anyone can say anything is art can’t they?

He was just someone who was a bit perplexed while visiting an art gallery, so took his glasses off to see the reaction.

There is also a more recent thread about "forbidden art" - people vomiting and worse somewhere.
I think I started that one too, which is laughable really, considering my artistic skills none at all

Oh!

I was trying to find the lines in that picture!

^If you have twenty-five buttons and you need to place them in a 5 by 5 grid pattern spaced out on a table, and twenty-four of the buttons are white, and one is pink, where in the grid does the pink one get placed, and why?^

Well, for me it would have to be lower left corner, because then it would be the origin of points on graph paper (x=0, y=0)

Or, upper left corner, because that would be the origin when doing computer artwork

Or middle top, as that would be stable.

NOT middle bottom, because that would be unstable and the whole thing would be wanting to rotate through 180 degrees so as to become stable.

If it were top row, one from the left corner, that would be alright because it would be as if a knight had moved from the centre.

But not any of the other knight moves from the centre.

I would choose the middle bottom, as it would look like a little pink face popping up.
Although when I doodle, I do very symmetrical patterns, with every single thing in place.
It's very important that it all lines up.

If you have twenty-five buttons and you need to place them in a 5 by 5 grid pattern spaced out on a table, and twenty-four of the buttons are white, and one is pink, where in the grid does the pink one get placed, and why?

I would discard the pink one as I absolutely hate pink, and would leave a space in the centre.
