This activated a fragment of a thought that I haven't had in decades, wow. I'm not even sure I remember what this is from.

the dude looks more badass than his statue

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 months ago

He does. There's also a pic without him on his insta and I've gotta say it does lose a few badassery points

The Olmecs or Olmec were an early known major Mesoamerican civilization, flourishing in the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco from roughly 1200 to 400 BCE during Mesoamerica's formative period.

Awesome, thank you, I'm not very familiar with ancient American history.

Is that Señor Xtapolapocetl?

It's an extravagant piece of art. A mad, unthinkable, utterly impossible piece of art! A frabulous, grabulous, zip-zoop-zabulous piece of art!

His face says "it had it coming..".

Nice. Symbolism on point. 👌

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I love the fact that the car will continue to degrade, but the head will remain.

Spelunky 2 is too hard even for Tesla

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Now I wonder, though, did he buy a Tesla for this? Or did already have a Tesla and thought of a creative way to get rid of it?

What's going through my mind is a scene from Straight Outta Compton:

"They're burning all your CD's!" (referencing a large pile of burning CD's from their new album).

"Yeah, but they still bought them, didn't they?"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Could not find the answer to that but I don't think so, given what he has to say about the installation. Also I don't see why he wouldn't get an already wrecked car for dirt cheap to do that.

"In the end this glorified object with all that technology is just that; it is just a product of a capitalist system when in reality what really matters is where we come from, what we are, and what we have been, generation after generation."

Edit : the car in the picture even shows clear signs of wreckage, e.g the hood with giant scratches all over even though it looks like the head wouldn't even have touched it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

For context, he did this a year ago.

I usually don't like Avant-garde art, but this one speaks to me.

Now that's interesting!

Is that giant round stone face supposed to represent an ancient stoic warrior? 🗿 Now it does.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

The Louvre should display the fine artwork. Just paint a fucking swastika on the Tesla.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago
