I like it. Modern design language is towards muted colours and heavily features grey so the juxtaposition of something made for kids, with colour prevelent, now muted like the chargers does something in my head. With the wiimote we even have the intersection where play met sleek, modern design which is much less playful.

Am I reading into it too much? Ye, but I like it. Seperate to this I do, seperatly, enjoy muted colours and sleek design language common to the mid to late 2010s up to now so I assume that’s part of my enjoyment

I wonder if it could hurt to erase Wii logo. On one hand I don’t like brand names included like there, and the controller is very recognizable by itself. On the other hand it would probably hurt autenticity of the object and may be a sloppery slope to then being asked to erase each individual M on candies too.

I’m gonna use this one comment to react to everyone else here.

I don’t know if I should feel amused by the controversy this post has raked up, or feel happy finding out that the community is active after all (I was genuinely starting to believe we were dying out)

So I kind of feel both??

This artist is a self-proclaimed ‘object arranger’ so I think his works fall under ‘arrangement art.’ pretentious or not, I do believe in celebrating experimental forms of art rather than alienating them for not conforming to what is ‘traditionally’ accepted.

speaking of, to the people who feel confused by the name of the community, feel free to give the side-bar a little look-see for clarification. It’s the best I could do under the circumstances and I positively believe more are in favor of it than against it. (I certainly think it’s better than vague but misleading alternatives like “ArtPorn” or any kind of “Thing-Porn” for non-pornographic stuff, which is terminology that’s somehow commonly accepted by people who grew up with reddit)

As far as my personal interpretation goes: I find myself reacting to the work the way I’d react to a sandcastle made by a little child, or ancient cave paintings or sculptures (like waaaay back, thousands and thousands of years ago where finding an odd shaped rock made you the coolest caveman in the tribe, for a month)

I think the only thought It has provoked in me thus far is: when does a pile of things cease being a pile of things and turn into a reflection of the time and place where it’s from? would people react the same way if they saw an unexplored cave with specific arrangements of rock?

But yeah that’s about all the attachment I have to this particular post. His works are in a folder among other folders which I shall empty 5-6 files a day so no, i will not stop posting this person’s work until I’ve emptied out all the folders. feel free to upvote/downvote accordingly

And yes, to the extent that no-one other than me posts to this community, all the posts in here will be heavily flavored by the preferences of the ones posting. Don’t like what you see? stop being grumpy about it and POST THINGS which you do like!

If this is shallow, show me what you think is DEEP!

peace

Not traditional art, but strangely evocative.
