<![CDATA[BMW's new "art" car]]>BMW released pictures of their new art car... I like to think I'm somewhat cultured.  I go to musicals, I visit museums, I've been to art exhibits, etc.  This car, I don't get it.  It's not art.  It's fucking stupid.  Plenty of other art cars actually look like art and evoke thought and emotion.  This looks like some kid designed it on Forza.

I heard they printed that on his coffin on one side and a picture of him on the other.

I hope that "art car" drives "FAST" of a cliff.

With that beings said, I must say it is working. Its making its rounds as controversial and that's the whole point isn't it?

Holy crap Dan you're onto something.

FAST is a marketing ploy for FedEx.

I'm questioning everything on the internet right now

This literally and100% honestly looks like an on fire pile of garbage

at least we know it took the artist many hours to draw the pile of garbage. baldesarri sent his design to FedEx Office by lunch time on the first day, and they had his vinyl prints done for him to pick up after he stopped at walgreens to grab his prescription of stupid pills.

p.s. the graph paper e9 is my favorite.

That balldressing guy should stick to what he knows best

Probably how he "designed" that car too. Through some magnetic dots at it and whatever stuck he just was like "yeah fuck it, whatever"

It was horrible. It would be like interviewing me about a surgical procedure "they put something in the guy, took another thing out and got a napkin"

Wanting to see the talent of Baldessari in his preferred mediums sent me to google images.

It appears his "thing" is dots of primary colors. This explains a lot.

Im sure some observers could stare for hours analyzing the beauty and genius of a few dots. I just have a problem with Art that can be done in a matter of minutes.

Simple can still be awesome

I just really need to focus on my art right now

]]>https://wibimmers.com/post/74507https://wibimmers.com/post/74507Fri, 02 Dec 2016 03:50:46 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to BMW's new "art" car on Thu, 01 Dec 2016 23:20:25 GMT]]>Typically I feel like BMW's marketing is fairly clever or represents the brand well.  I mean, it doesn't make me want to murder kittens like GM's current line of commercials for Chevy and Buick.  This, this just misses the point so hard.  This quote from Baldessari just kills me.

What do you imagine it will look like on the race track?

I hope it looks good. I put this red dot on top because I had this idea that there would be a helicopter shot going down so it can be identified.

their marketing department, which is clearly designing their regular cars, must have their hands in this.

From the article:

someone said:

Have you ever customized a car before?

It’s my first time.

Clearly. Hopefully, your last too.

someone said:

What was it like to design this car?

It was a challenge. I’ve never designed anything three-dimensional. Working on it from all different directions, I was happy with how it came out.

A challenge, are you frickin kidding me? This took like 3 hours right? Three-dimensional? You still haven't design something 3D, you painted a circle and a square and some text on some flat surfaces.
