Some people might be turned off by how FRENCH this prose is, but please remember that this is the only way you can get away with describing contemporary art as essentially tranny porn in the modern academy.

This is very true! Great art had the original aura in it to cite Benjamin. This is why picture perfect (literally) photorealism is a novelty, which is even accompanied by photoshop, it's never the same as a genre painting or even Impressionism, it does not have an artist glow

Because it's just a photograph but reproduced by a human copy machine.

Reminder: https://www.artrenewal.org/Article/Title/abstract-art-is-not-art … This is why video games can't be art: simulations don't represent by definition. The blocks in Tretris, to come back to that example, literally ARE blocks that fall from the top to the bottom in the game's world, like photos in real life.pic.twitter.com/3gX2y3FG1N

I disagree. The movement of Tetris blocks is depicted by pixels being turned off and on on the display. Nothing's falling.

yeah, saying the phrases "simulations don't represent" and "the game's world" in the same sentence is a real head scratcher.

I'm using that as a shorthand for "the mathetmatical equations performed by the program that you interact with via game controls" Twitter has character limits.

Strictly speaking, a video game is a complex machine, not a representation. (even the software is a series of electrons and switches on the hard drive, no less concrete than the hardware itself.)

i'm with you, it's just funny to watch a rigorous metaphysics discussion being played out on twitter, and i can't resist the urge to throw wrenches

True, as Kant said high art creates a "free play" of the senses from the filter of the understanding faculties and reason. But I think Schopenhauer is right in asserting the event of aesthetic observation is an implosion then stilling of the normal mind faculties and reason.
