Online is probably the best global piece of Art.

Really, surfing the stupid things that people post online can be just as stimulating as browsing a hall of modern paintings. The tangibility shifts, but the mental stimulation (because that is what image targets) is either similar or higher online than off.

Yes, interaction is valuable, and many people view art with others or speak with others at galleries. But we’re talking about the impact on the individual here. The image, the object between four right-angles. Look at this juxtaposition! There is an immediate reaction of the whole followed by the associations of each image… a complex impact. Walking through a gallery of 2D pieces can tweek the mind just as much as any digital one-liner can.

I propose a gallery of “Stupid Internet Stuff”, as it could be the light-hearted answer to the art world. Seriously, the economy of Art takes itself too seriously. It’s a business of high money and higher thinking… but sometimes it can be artistic still to just enjoy reacting to things that were not produced by trained minds. Enjoying life, it’s okay to explore instinctive reactions to things.
