99.99% of art is bad is any medium
Many more people publishing art means you will see a lot more bad art, but the ratio is probably the same.
The urge to emphasize the bad and show no curiosity to seek out the good, or challenging, exposes a reactionary small mindedness I find deeply ignorant and uncultured.

SEEING THROUGH MASKS from NEVERENDING STORIES by Boris Eldagsen
Collected by @bartdekker.
NEVERENDING STORIES by Boris Eldagsen (@spamthemusical) is a collection of 13 AI-generated videos based on AI-images that Eldagsen generated in weeks of experiments. They were then animated with AI, extended and cut into a loop in a video program.
NEVERENDING STORIES feels like you’ve wandered into a Hammer horror film on the brink of total existential collapse. The visuals pulse between memory and nightmare — absurd spaces and strange figures that come and go like half-forgotten thoughts.
It’s as if Tarkovsky’s STALKER got hijacked by Camus. Like a Sisyphean Cycle of coming back to the same place but never quite arriving, the loop stands in for both an escape and a trap.

Have you heard people talking about @ArtBasel Miami lately? “You have 80,000 people who go every year,” art market expert @MagnusResch says. “And of those 80,000, maybe 500 people are actually buying an artwork. That’s a very poor conversion.” freak.ws/3GO4nam
