I really like the catholic benefits card...
I think there should be extra points for high fives with animals. I really liked the pigeon high fives. vote for that!
This task is discriminating against those around us that don't eat vegetables. I wonder if it's possible to make an instrument out of meat.
Can you cook it before eating or would that be cheating?
I find it very interesting that you talk about the female body like it would be an object.
How many points for that?
When I read this very male dialog of you and the Animus I just found that there is the need for another perspective.
You shouldn't take this too serious. It's just a comment.
I'm no native speaker, so I might have got this wrong, but the word art is very related to the word artificial, so I always thought that art has to be something that is created and not given.
and:
I still somehow like this completion, because it has lot's of LOVE in it, but it's a difficult topic that YOU started. I would find it strange if this little discussion we have would not take place here and all the comments would just be about how amazing the female body can represent sexuality and fashion.
Lincoln,
You say that the female body is the greatest work of art in history.
1. there is nothing like "the female body", what should that be?
2. As I said before in my understanding art has to be created, not given and I know that that's the common understanding of art within capable art theory. There is the possibility to declare something as art, but then the act of declaring would be the actual artwork, the creation of an idea, a concept.
3. If you say that you objectifie the body and put it in a frame the actual work of art is not the female body, but the image of the female body, what brings me to the point, that the pictures you posted might be images of the female body and some of them could be defined as art, but defenitly not as the greatest works of art in humanity. I don't know what that should be either, but I'm sure that these don't make it to the top ten.
I don't know why you decided to do this task in that way, but for me it's just not very well done. Without any reflection and point, thats just a macho thing, nothing else.
But: I really enjoed reading all these comments !!
Hello and thanks to everyone with attitude!
Maybe you should have taken "star wars" as the greatest work of art in human history.
And I like this.
Concerning your comment "women historically diminished into sexual objects":
Before you wrote this statement I didn't take this whole thing here too serious, cause it's actually just a few pictures of naked women, a not very well founded argumentation about art and a few fast comments in discussion-swamp.
I'm not easy to bother as well, so I didn't really care.
But after reading your last statement about the female role in society and why you think it is like that I really got kind of frustrated.
I'm not going to start any argumentation on that right now but you have obviously a lack of basic understanding of the topic and I highly recommend you to treat yourself with some feminist literature before you go on discussing.
If you would read just the first few pages of Simone de Beauvoirs "The second sex" you would definitly understand a little bit more of what the problem is about.
I don't like this discussion anymore.
I also find that using batteries instead misses the point of such a project. It's about using less energy.(maybe not the task, but defenitly the earth hour)
I wonder if it's really so difficult to spend an hour without using energy, I'm gonna try tonight, no light no TV, laptop, music (just homemade music) and what's gonna be hardest: no heater!
