I'd be fine with them leaving it bare carbon and calling it good. Just the fact that they've insulted our intelligence by even calling the pokemon go bullshit app art is frustrating.
-
I mean bare carbon still isnt an art car lol
Sure it is. Minimalism. It's better than this insult to our senses.
-
Hence minimal, not none lol
The number 18 is on the side. How much more minimal do you want!? Let's go back in time and say they never told us there was an app to use and BMW just said "Hey, we're saying fuck it and here's a bare carbon car we're going to race." That situation would have been better than, "Ohhhhh! Look how progressive and abstract we are!". Maybe there's a segment of their audience that "get's it" but clearly they missed the mark with the core audience that can't afford to buy a new car.

That's just a normal door number in helvetica... She didn't decide the number or font lol
I am just saying as an art car, there is no art without the app. If it were just a new car that they stated "Hey we are running the new car without a livery." it would be one thing. I believe that the reason this is art is because it is "innovative and unlike any art car before". At the end of the day, it is nothing without the app or location that they are doing the VR experience. No extra work was actually put onto the car hands on by the artist to alter the way it physically sits on this earth. It will just be a raw car less a livery out on the track.

Sorry, I forgot to use my sarcastic font when I said that... But how do you know she didn't specifically choose helvetica for it's bold no nonsense statement making potential yet universal acceptance as a font standard!
I didn't realize you were so passionate about art and what defines art. My point is this is stupid. I understand it from a concept and how it is perceived as art but I still think it's stupid and that's the point of art, evoke emotion. In this case it evokes contempt and disappointment. Just the same way you could perceive bare carbon as art. The way it reflects and absorbs light, the pattern consistency, etc.

That thing is one vape cloud away from a brogasm. If the BMW art cars have gone off into the realm of high-brow masturbatory conceptualism, then this thing has got to be the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
Crossing the worlds of high-art and car culture is a bad idea that should have died in the '70s just like Erhard seminars and prog-rock concept albums.

Spoken like a true nostalgist!
As far as prog rock goes; Tool, The Mars Volta and Coheed and Cambria all had excellent concept albums post 2000.
