Art vs Design

[version]

I told my mum and she was like "God, he's a sicko!" then I told him she thought he was wanking over A Clockwork Orange and he was too embarrassed to come round for a while.

i watched it over lockdown. i thought it was alright. drags a bit though. woops loves it. reminded me a lot of a kira knightly film called the duchess.

You've gotta be trolling me now. This is a troll right. Comparing Keira Knightley victorian larp garbage to Kubrick's masterpiece (possibly the most visually beautiful film ever made). I can only assume if you're serious that you were seduced by Keira (I am too, so I don't judge; she is a beautiful woman).

Someone tell me Luka is trolling I'm getting really upset

Luka's nothing if not deadly serious at all times.

I would urge mr reason to rectify the fault

back on topic it occurred to me today the the new towers in the city are obvious examples of graphic design architecture over the classical dreams of wren churches and the bank and exchange.

its like back in wren times, they were creating art in the face of all these practical difficulties building with stone and wood, whereas recent architects have the luxury/blight of being able to make all sorts of wild shapes.
design surely is about ergonomics and utility, and it will use aesthetic pleasure solely as a means to an end - improving usability? although there's a lot of cultism in design like trying to imbue the inherently shallow discipline with meaning. art on the other hand is bourgeois fun, basically from which higher truths might occasionally be secreted

sorry, i didn't read the links

yeah partly but i mean on a more overall level, like a big dome with a statue on top has a certain message which a massive block of glass doesn't have. also the idea of architecture toward the glory of god and now to the glory of cash

it's kind of like two competing tribes of snobs and pseuds

Modern building designs are full of boring quirks, affected eccentricities. Totally childish. I feel nothing when I look at them except contempt.

i suppose the utilitarianism of design aligns to capitalism, but design advocates would claim its all classical too. as well as trancendental.
watch them when you ask why their 🍏 kit is so special, they come over like count arthur strong describing choc ice all aroused and non-specific

If, as we all assume, neither cash nor God exist,
