Because i wouldn't
when I see something like a jackson pollock paintings being valued at 140 and 180 million dollars it kills me inside that something like this can be valued so high. I may have not have a degree in Art but I know what looks good and what doesn't. |
Isn't the main aspect of what makes them art the fact that things like these can't be found in nature :conf:
I know an old man who uses the same technique to create paintings, and they take weeks to complete. Only difference is that his turn out to be images of people and scenery. |

Wasn't Pollock rich already and lived in the Hamptons. He was a drunk I recall. I think his status of living in the Hamptons mads his art worth more. But then again, I might be talking about someone else as I don't recall much nor know much on Art. |

Mayonnaise, mustard and Ketchup.
Notice how the Mayonnaise and Ketchup mix on the left. |

Bidding starts at a modest $50,000. Can I hear $60,000? |

The thing about digital art like the above is you can just download it for free.
I can almost guarantee you don't have a hard copy of that :p |

Without doing a Google search myself I want to know if what I said holds any merit? :mad: |

I agree that the price tags are ridiculous, but I really love these pieces, they have a distinct mathematical beauty to them.
I find them amazing, actually. |

If you mean mathematical in a random number generator... I guess... |

Ask yourself, can randomness create patterns?
This is a serious question by the way.
Do you really look at those paintings and see total randomness? |

I was being a jackass...
But yea, randomness creates patterns, especially pseudo-random number generators (because its not true randomness). Technically given an infinite amount of time a random binary generator could generate all the information that exists in the world, now or in the future, in every possible form... So yea there can be patterns in random stuff.
These paintings don't have the same patterns though that you'd see in a visualization of a Mandelbrot or other mathematical equations though. |

LOL, no. The universe is a little more complex.

Well it's obviously not a Mandelbrot.... it's a human painting after all.... but you can still see the fractals in his works... and considering it was done by hand and not a computer, I personally can see how it's appreciated. |
