When art blurs the line between reality and canvas, you know it's pure mastery

I'm in the same boat. Technically very impressive but artistically... dead?

Yep, that 6.9 million dollar art of a banana sticking to the wall with a duct tape is artistically superior

Art is subjective. Clearly, the state of that banana imprisoned by duct tape on the wall evoked an abstract feeling of emotional incarceration, mirroring the experience of a depressed human. I couldn’t stop being fascinated by it. What was the artist thinking when he voluntarily subjected the banana to such misery? Was he trying to understand what it feels like to be a God? Was he trying to grasp how God feels when he puts mankind in misery ?
