I know we don't like to take things too seriously around here. But holy fuckin' misogyny. Two artists open themselves up, are honest, try something different, write, create art, tell a story. and all we can say is "She's an attention whore". I think its brave to create design / art projects that are that deeply introspective and not commercially motivated. Doesn't mean you have to like the output... but after reading over the past 3 pages of comments it would seem that there's something more at play here than people reacting negatively to the art itself.
- Did he finger blast her?chossy

The thing that sucks about this isn't just that it is egotistical self-indulgence based entirely on the premise that they think they are interesting or attractive. It's also stupid because there are a large handful of retards out there and on here who pay attention.
Look at their soulless empty faces.
- I can't, I'm scaredukit2
- you use the term retard as if that has basis. your comment is already invalid.lvl_13
- lvl 13 your comment has no meaning. Retard is a derogatory slang for someone of low intelligence.cannonball1978

i didn't hate it. found the final video somewhat intriguing. the idea, albeit weird, got a lot of reactions out of a lot of people. whether in be good or bad, it sparked talk.
i also found the site nice, simple and to the point. the other artists work was also a nice touch.

i didnt like it. typography was ok but nothing smart.
the whole project was more self serving. as in art for art sake. maybe one can argue that that's what art is but I find it rather boring and contrived.
if the point was to provide insight into their lives, I dont believe it or buy it, as point of relationship is that it is unexpected and emotional. this lacked both. if it was to be viewed as retrospective, i find it uninteresting and did not meet what they set out to do.
"40 days: the commitment, time, companionship, joys and frustrations. Can they help each other, or will they fall into their same habits? Will they damage their friendship? What if they fall in love?"
the whole point, it lacked. it failed as an experiment from artistic perspective as well as interpersonal interaction. both took themselves too seriously and didnt try to really provide insight nor point of view on the subject. it did not distort the normality for the audience but rather became a stereotypical student art experiment at first year level.
at the end we make fun because it just fucken sucked. wtf was this bullshit. that is all.

They are pretty successful 20 somethings in NYC who take cabs, eat expensive meals and don't face any real problems. There's thousands of people exactly like them in NYC.
It's stupid.

Plus the design is weak. What's with the terrible colours and shadows over the illustrated type?
The dude thinks he's a bad boy when in reality he looks like any rich hipster with money and real purpose.

Its just so utterly utterly inconsequential. Two people have decided to date. Fucking woopedydoo, last night I had a curry, this morning I took the dog for a walk and lost its toy in a pond.
- BUT CAN YOU DO IT FOR 40 DAYS?!

I read the last couple days.
Some interesting things in there for us - from the standpoint that I can relate - but it seems like its devolved into a lot of complaining and talk reserved for a therapist. Which is cool - I don't know or think there were any expectations on how this would all go.
It's an interesting premise - and I'll likely read more of it in chronological order now.

damn so much hate. I liked it. I read the majority of it. I thought it was interesting and I liked a lot of the illustrations and there was some funny moments.

I went to see some friends today I hadn't seen for a while, we went bowling. I won the first game and tom win the second, I met a girl called Ali there I think she was a friend of toms girlfriends. Anyway it was good fun I'm just sitting on the couch after taking the dog for a wee game of catch in the park. I had to go home to walk the dog because my partner is working so I have to look after the dig while she is on day shifts, that meant I couldn't go for the meal after bowling. However I texted tom and they have just been served their main course so I will get a taxi back and meet them again pretty soon.

how can you not understand the difference between your post and a 40 day consecutive project that takes a singular premise and explores the duality of the experience? Not to mention getting 80 talented designers/teams involved to design and illustrate the sentiments in thoughtful ways (that, in my mind, is a great patchwork metaphor for the design industry in general right now). It's not about their day - it's about the exploration of a specific human ritual and all the other shit that feeds into it.
- Nice try prettying it up.cannonball1978
- the difference is his post times 40 times 2cannonball1978
- I was critical in the beginning (see page 1) - but I think this turned out really nice and I took value away from it. Personally.identity
