Not art. It's stupid, and yet really hilarious.

Eh, s'okay, I guess. I wouldn't spend money on it personally...

I guess it qualifies as art, but I find it mildly disturbing. To say the least.

 

[Kollega]

It's not art, but it's disturbing. And hilarious.

 

[Quoth]

It's like something I'd imagine a kid would do. It's not would i would define as art, but then I'm no expert.

As I pressed post I thought to myself it reminds me of a dead flea circus.

 

[Queen Michael]

It's drawings I like. So that makes it art.

 

[Klepa]

There's no definition of art that has been unanimously agreed upon, but the way I see it, this is art, because someone's created it, and its only purpose is to try and give its viewers some sort of emotion. It doesn't serve any other function.
Then again, by that definition, trolling is art.

 

[Aunel]

plenty of crazy stuff in the world, only odd thing about this is that it did not come from Japan...

I'd be intrigued to hear his opinion on what it signifies because i believe part of the definition of art is that it conveys some form of meaning or message - even if that meaning is a deliberate lack of meaning.

I can't wait until i study the psychology of this stuff in the new year
