Is this the future of art?

If the people that made it went to "art school", its not art.
>>7471655
why though? you need the necessary context (social capital, influence, network, exposure) for it to be art rather than ugly painting; art school is a necessary credential
Looks like the dreams I used to have while I was on chemo
I cried several times during the course of this book. I almost stopped because I knew there could be no way for H.H. to have a happy life with Lo, and I felt so attached to that relationship not because I too am attracted to Nymphets, but it reminded me so much of my first love.
This is the first book that's left me emotionally crippled upon completion. I started digging through old journal entries, photos, and gifts that all relate to my first love. I haven't really eaten well in a few days and I've been eating muscle relaxers and drinking wine. I'm...

Don't read Ada; you might kill yourself.
“What I heard was but the melody of children at play, nothing but that, and so limpid was the air that within this vapor of blended voices, majestic and minute, remote and magically near, frank and divinely enigmatic—one could hear now and then, as if released, an almost articulate spurt of vivid laughter, or the crack of a bat, or the clatter of a toy wagon, but it was all really too far for the eye to distinguish any movement in the lightly etched streets. I stood listening to that musical vibration from my lofty slope, to those flashes of separate cries with a kind of...

This thread made me laugh. Thanks, dear anon.
Is this decent?
Every day there's blues skies and the same white cotton tufts of clouds that would crawl across the plasma screened dome in a predetermined path. When first implemented it was a nice change of pace from the dull eggshell white of the hull but after a month of it the residents would crawl from their bunkbeds and peer up from their steaming coffee mugs and hope to see an overcast or maybe a cluster of dark clouds flirting with the false conception that it could rain. Rob Cosgrove had once asked one of the many young computer engineers of his flock why they always had the same goddamn blue skies and happy little puff clouds gliding across the dome. The kid engineer referenced that the psychologists thought that gray clouds could bring about cases of depression in New Dublin. So Cosgrove went to the shrinks and he asked them if they believed monotony would bring more cases of depression compared to a few gray clouds in the false sky every once in a while. They looked at him dumbly and then collectively had a grand conniption and fell into a vapid argument of which famous and ancient psychotherapist said what and they quoted and pouted and rubbed their temples and stroked their goatees at each other in annoyance. The Caliph left the quacks to their work and decided to visit the farm otherwise known as Section 3B otherwise known as estrogen island otherwise known as don't go there during the cycle. On his way to the EM tram he spotted a group of students who had dyed their mandatory white shirts and shoes with stolen food coloring. With authority he demanded who had stole from the people's pantry and who devised such an affront to the city. The students knew enough not to incriminate someone for the act of thievery for it would come with the punishment of expulsion and would be jettisoned back to earth in an uncomfortable one seat shuttle that had a chance of failure once it hit the thick part of earth's atmosphere. Only few knew that the few shuttles that disintegrated were built for failure and were reserved for only the worst of the worst. Mainly pederasts and promiscuous wives that had broken the heart of a man of worth or a man with a friend in the docking bay who enjoyed compromising shuttles with a miniscule hole with a plasma torch. The students were also smart enough to give up the name Joe Filio in order to get the ornery old man of fifty five away from them. Caliph Cosgrove the third of greater great lakes told the punks to let their friend Filio know that he is to report to the his office. He then turned heel and strode off in the direction of the tram. When he reached the terminal which was only an archway that displayed the minutes and seconds of the tram's arrival in bold red light there was a line of white waiting for it and with a salute Cosgrove walked past his citizens and cut to the front. The tram crawled up screeching and squealing and the doors opened and released the stench of recycled air and sweat.
The Caliph quickly entered and took a seat near the front. When he sat down on the plush sticky seat of the over glorified bullet train he opened his mouth and took a quick spray of an aerosol opioid aptly named 'pain pain goes away'. It was a precautionary spray because he knew that some fool was going to take a seat near him and that gnat was going to attempt a fumbling conversation. It was his five minutes of hell and sure enough it was to begin as a bright eyed young astrophysicist plopped down across from him.

You're a good writer, and you have a pleasant colorful imagination, but you're in too many places at once. I'd like to read more about the things that you mention, but you glaze over almost everything with the same amount of attention.
Format. Put some paragraphs in there so it's easier to read next time.

Kill myself
Foucalt declared this, after Deluze's first works. But whether it was meant as a joke or not, it's not important here.
I think so, and I'll explain why. Read and then please call me on my bullshit.
This century is becoming deleuzian, but not in the way Foucalt or Deleuze himself might have thought. The Anti-Oedipus talks of a capitalism that sustain himself on the desire of subjects, subjects kept in check, if not actually inscribed in the oedipal triangle. Now when "schizoanalysis" takes the place of psychonalysis, it's mission should be...

Foucault was talking about the previous century and not ours I believe, that is to say the XXth century that they were in at the time. It's still an odd declaration. I even heard someone joke about it saying that it would be an insult to Deleuze to call the previous century, filled with catastrophes as it was, a Deleuzian century.
As for your point, you might want to check out Zizek's Organs without Bodies: Deleuze and Consequences or something like that. Basically he calls Deleuze the philosopher...

STEMkids are the existential equivalent of people who go to a nice restaurant and order chicken fingers.

British Gothic era fiction, around the early 19th century.
Great advancements in science had just been made in the Enlightenment. As a reaction to this, quite often the field of science (or scientists) became represented in the antagonists in gothic fiction.
"Art is the Tree of Life. Science is the Tree of Death" (William Blake)
I think pic related illustrates the sentiment rather well.
I'm trying to dig into a lost and existential viewpoint for a short that I'm writing about a man who believes he has died and gone to hell.
Odd electronic experimental music has been fueling my journey. Mainly Hot Sugar and Two Fingers today. What do you peeps listen to when you'd like to dig into the mountains of madness?
Have you ever checked out Stockhausen? His music is pretty mad.

Using the google now. Thanks for the tip.
Yeah you weren't kidding. Stockhausen has some real spacey eternity filled horror floating around.

Knowing that the books dip in quality is it still worth reading?
if you want to, read it.
if you don't want to, don't read it.
Yeah. Do you know the ending? If not, then you should read it.
There's a load of bullshit that happens especially in the last three books, but I thought it was worth it.
The first book is the best though, keep that in mind so that you won't be too disappointed; it goes 1 > 2 > 7 > 4 = 3 > 5 >>>> 6

dude I think they're pretty good.
stephen king is considered "plebby" and yeah sure I guess he is but his prose is super comfy, he's just sitting in your ear saying "m8 listen here, this is basically what happened" and he does it well.
I think someone called him a yarn spinner or something and he really is and with this series he does it well and they're a comfy read.
Boogiepop is quintessential.
