This is terrible.

Aluminium cans should have gone in the recycling! ♻️

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You guys have recycling?

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

That's just trash with extra steps!

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Aluminum is actually one of the most recyclable things we have. To the point where it's better, environmentally, to have single use aluminum cups that get recycled every time.

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Except aluminium cans nowadays have a plastic lining that make recycling them harder.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm talking about straight up aluminum cups. No need for the can liner.

Beer can artwork temporarily made interactive.

To be fair, I feel like that's kind of what the artist was hoping for. Would you be reading about his piece if some Philistine with no concept of what constitutes art hadn't thrown it away?

Art exists solely as it is interpreted by the observer.

In this case, the observer interrupted the art as trash.

[-] elfpie@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I believe this kind of art should embrace the impermanence. The concept is more valuable than the object.

I mean, that makes it a pretty damn successful work.

There was another story like this. The exhibit depicts an after party scene with champagne bottles and other party "trash" everywhere. It was placed in a room. The custodians thought there was a party earlier and promptly cleaned the room.

Good times are symbolized by littering alcohol cans?

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

The idea that someone'd think someone'd littered like that in a museum tickles me a bit.
