I really have fallen for impermanent art. I display slide/color positive film on my windows. Yup they will fade and that’s totally ok.




Huh, that's very interesting. I've always considered Art to be timeless, bc it is, all of it. Davinci did a lot of cool stuff but the Mona Lisa made him the most famous person and I really don't see that changing. I have a painting hanging over my head rn whose artist died in the 1680s - the painting is over 100 years older than the Declaration of Independence and was brought over here on a ship with sails that took forever.

Impermanent art. That just bothers me.

An artist that dedicates their life to such a thing is like swimming in the fountain of youth without ever taking a drink.


Impermanent art is a big part of that Black Rock Desert thing they do at the end of August.

Most humans literally do that last part.
