Art being surprisingly interesting
20 02 2008So, if you take people’s opinions on what they want for art, and you incorporate those opinions into actual paintings?
You get this:
At least, that’s the most popular painting in China.
The least popular is this:
The artists doing this are two Russians (named Komar and Melamid), who thought that art, like anything else in our consumerist society, should be solicited and democratic. They created a generalized survey for people and then included all the results in a painting.
Unsurprisingly, the favourite colour was blue.
For the rest of the countries, i.e. the US, France or Germany, go to their original website.
It’s funny, because none of the paintings really appeal to me, on an individual basis.
Hong Gil Dong recaps may be delayed due to some school stuff. Check for updates, I guess.

Dear Sevenses,
Why is it that almost each time I prefer the least wanted painting?
Oh and I was trying to write you a “fighting!” with the chinese keyboard, but it’s not just chinese, there’s simplified chinese, which includes something called ITABC, Wubi Xing, Wubi Hua, and there’s traditional chinese, which includes Zhuyin, Pinyin, Cangjie, Jianyi and Dayi(pro).
So here I am, with a question mark floating over my head, wondering which one I should pick.
Please enlight me with your knowledge, senpai!

Oh, this one slipped through the cracks. I think… I usually use Pinyin, but the wubi stuff is for really advanced people. So’s everything else, in fact. Traditional is the type Taiwanese people use. Mainland Mandarin and most Cantonese use Simplified now.
Hope that helps.
你好!
最近怎么烊？
This is supposed to mean “Hi! How have you been?”, but I might no have gotten the characters right…抱歉 (then again, this would mean “sorry”
I hope you have a fine day!
待会儿见。

You got it right, in one go! (The last letter of the second sentence should read 样 and not 烊, but it’s like, 1/2 a character off.)
Congrats!
You tooooooo!
