GOOG ART, BAD RAVERS...

basicmemory — Thu, 03 Mar 2005 21:21:00 GMT

over in the "BORG4" tribe i'd seen this...

"We are the ravers. The people of PLUR. We are the fuzzy people who buy all the tickets so all you "artiste" types can get grants to make art to decorate our transcendental dance party. We are here to say thank you. And to encourage you to make more fabulous dance party decorations. We like 'em. and we want more. In fact, we demand more. If we don't get more, we are going to stop coming to the event to dance and go dance somewhere else."

so i said-
"best idea a "neo-raver" ever had... go away and don't ever come back, the true rave scene died in '98, you all are just hooligans with drug problems. haven't innovated a thing. and if you didn't know, a real raver builds it and brings it themselves... but a scene-whore like you you don't think much..."

then with flowers in hand they reply-
"Mr. Turner, I am curious, what have you brought to BM, or Borg2, or Borg4, or Borg9, or whatever lately? Besides a highly developed critical sense of course?"

so i dropped the atomic-punch with a mighty-
"i don't bring an inflated ego filled with rude demands and trite understanding of what really IS the burningman experience. ravers are users (of all sorts) and to post a remark like the one posted here is not only direspectful and retarted, it is also the point of fact the reason BM is better off without the "raver"...

i don't need to belong to any "borg" to have contributed to the community i have been involved with artists and projects there since 2000. i've helped feed and shelter these amazing people and have lended a hand to the cause even if i wasn't going that year.

i was what you'd call an "old school raver" back when the scene had respect for itself and others without running around too high to actually say, "peace, love, unity and respect". the ravers today don't care about anybody or anything, just in it for their good time and how long can you be left alone to engage in all the mindless scene-destruction you can... all the while showing the peace sign, pathetic... you just want to look cool and act like you are part of something when the only thing you ARE part of is the PROBLEM... i was in the scene from '94 to 2000 and have been in the trenches with the ravers (speaker junkie) and behind the scenes of some of the biggest parties but when the kids started coming in '96 it was dead fast, due to exactly what was written here... don't buy the tickets and go somewhere else to dance, BM isn't a dance-party, it WAS an art mecca where ideas of creation were shared and discovered. now it is a "holy grail" for those who want to know where can i find the best place to experience the worst in self indulgence... none of you care about THAT part of the playa, you just want "things" to dance around and trip on. fucking leaches..."

to which i added-
"the artists pour their souls out to make the place magical and you disrespect them with that post... you really need to check yourselves, but then all a raver these days is, is a "hooligan" without the balls to be a person let alone a citizen of BRC..."

their weak reply was barely able to say-
"Maybe some beads to gift, Mr. Turner? Glow sticks? No?"

so i tried to match the intensity with-
"have moved on to "fiber-optics" that way i'm really playa-down... no chemical to waste bro, i got clues to "gift" you if you care to stop wiggling like that..."

destroy all "RAVERS" (never seen a muppet act like that)

so the winner for the art grant looks like it will be-

"Dance Dance Immolation"

by default i think rather than merit, the other ideas were so half-baked or just led by ego-freaks that all they had to do was suggest "fire" and they win... is it "art"? hell no it ain't it's specticle and danger but then you've all herd of the saying, "dead man walking"... r.i.p. burning man...

OPINIONS ARE LIKE......

ARTCHEMICAL — Thu, 03 Mar 2005 18:15:05 GMT

I decided to start a tribe to get everyone's narrow little opinion of what is Good Art, what is Bad Art and what is NOT Art out in the open!

Post pics of Art to the photo Album and in the blurb simply put your tribe ID and the words GOOD, BAD or NOT.

Then rant away.
Create threads to argue your point.
Create threads simply to dis on other people's opinions and show how stupid they are.
Vent all you want!
Tear people apart!

There are no rules.
No one is required to be nice or polite.
Be a jerk
Be clever
Be stupid
Be entertaining

If you are a Troll then this tribe is for you!
Make people argue with you to the point of absurdity!!

It'll be fun and cathartic!!!
