In Berlin in 2010, a bunch of people on bikes dumped a bunch of (environmentally friendly, they say) paint on a road and then this happened. And it certainly looks nice and is nice to watch. Very colorful! And, when they dump out the paint, that looks really fun. Like that would be a really fun thing to do. But. What a bunch of jerks!! What if the paint got on people’s cars? And their tires and then into their driveways and then they got it on their shoes and brought it into their houses and then their wives were so upset? Or if they were riding a bike, what if they got it on their pants?! Quite a large price to pay for taking part in an art experience that you didn’t ask to take part in. Is THAT the art? Ruining pants? Also, on a different note, that road is so confusing. I don’t understand how any of those cars know where they’re supposed to be.

The world is a confusing place and art pranks just make it even more so. Break the silence, stop the art pranks! (Via Laughing Squid.)

  1. To be fair, I think some of those cars were wearing fur.

  2. and they made kind of a short, not very festive video. i mean, c’mon artists who are doing something neat but fucking up a whole bunch of shit. let’s make a fucking VIDEO guys!

    I mean, really – how bout a little “Paradise City” and some ladies in bikinis?

  4. If the red paint street is the red light district, boy, their wives definitely caught them red-tired that night.

  5. “Hey, let’s set up a camera at an intersection and make a mess. We can call it art, and if anyone asks us what it means, we can just say that it’s meant to point out the absurdity of society or material possessions or something. Just say ‘absurdity’ in there somewhere and people will buy it.” – “artists”

      • I would upvote you, but your upvote/downvote buttons seem to have been formatted right out of existence by your art. Now THAT’S good art!

        • it’s obviously making a point (and what will of course be a controversial point around here) about the absurdity of judging the words that other people write, when really all written words are are just collections of random squiggly lines.

          Son of Gabe, so obvious you square! you need to get a LOT more avante-garde dude!

  6. Driving in Germany is frightening. Even without the “art”.

  7. The musical score was way too self-important for my tastes.

  8. maybe old age is finally setting in but all i could think about was how that paint covered up all the traffic lines. buncha jerks.

  10. Pffft. My kid can throw paint on a road better than that.

  11. I agree with Ambrose! That’s just dangerous.
