Aimee Davison's $10 000 Sponsorship of the Museum of Non-Visible Art

[gymir]

This is literally the stupidest fucking thing ever.

[Onehundredjobs]

@gymir Actually, the Museum of Non-Visible Art not sending me my art is probably more foolish. Check out the breaking update video featured on my channel page!

[TheJrm3389]

I know this is about MONA but I must say the idea behind OneHundredJobs is.... well its awesome!!!!

[Onehundredjobs]

@TheJrm3389 :D I was inspired by Franco and now I am selling my own conceptual art "Vial of Fresh Air" - Aimee Davison - $40. kickstarter. com / pro​jects/praxis/museum-of-non-vis​ible-art-praxis-and-james-fran​co

Art can be a concept, an idea.

It doesn't have to be an object, a thing.

Good for you for supporting this for your purposes.

Chris

[Onehundredjobs]

@frostyeod Thanks, Chris!

[Onehundredjobs]

@frostyeod THANK YOU! Much love. I am now selling my own conceptual art via James Franco and Praxis' Kickstater Project "Vial of Fresh Air" - Aimee Davison - $40. kickstarter. com / pro​jects/praxis/museum-of-non-vis​ible-art-praxis-and-james-fran​co

I think she got ripped off. I got an original "Fresh Air" this morning when I went out for a walk. I paid nothing for it.

[ThenewAstralgirl]

Is this a new version of "The Emperor`s new clothes"????I can`t wait to see the part when the kid say " the emperor it`s naked"! i think on this version will be like "there´s no piece of art, there it`s just air!!!"

And then the people that "saw the clothes (or the "piece of art") will see the stupid they were

[Drbeetlejuice]

I have an imaginary friend that has been pissing me off. He leaves the back door open when we have the air conditioning on and my wife gets mad at me. We cant afford to have him around any more. He is only half the price of the air you purchased so $5g's. Please get him out of my hair!

@chadbang I think YouTube is having issues with the view counter. Aimee's CBCHomerun video now has close to 1000 views in 2 days and she just put her own visible art up for auction: bit.ly / pTYC94

[reienomie]

You do not have a monopoly on the meaning of words; Webster’s does not recognize your usage of invisible as a ‘non existent ’ meanwhile all the definitions state a attribute of non perceivability normally by way of vision, thus non visible and invisible are functionally the same thing, your purchased art is in fact invisible, quod erat demonstrandum.

[FashionAmbush]

@reienomie I agree that the project's creators picked "non-visible" for a reason. I don't think Aimee is claiming to have a monopoly on the definition of words.

[yossariantv]

Savvy. As a marketer, model, and actress you'll certainly get more than $10,000 of publicity for this.

[lolpervs]

@yossariantv Agreed!!!

We're already doing fundraising but thanks for the tips, perhaps you could donate one thousandth of the fee you paid - $10 could help, and the ideas you suggest sound like good ideas so put your excellent business savvy ideas into practice....you could raise a lot of money for a global cause through your you tube channel. If you are going to do the short film you could look at the children's story 'The Emperor's New Clothes' and the play 'Art', good luck

[1618theatre]

all we need to say is east africa...

[Onehundredjobs]

@1618theatre Why don't you launch a Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Crowdrise project to benefit East Africa, then?

[1618theatre]

so can understand why you did it but I think of many ways 10,000$ could be spent...East africa

[Onehundredjobs]

Why is it my responsibility to donate money to charity? How many millions of people buy cars for $30 000 and pollute the environment day after day? Are you pointing the finger at them? I am allowed to be a patron of the arts and support an interesting concept. Also, as an entrepreneur, you need to take risks on novel ventures. My investment shows that an individual can benefit from the advertising generated by sponsorship of new media.

[chadbang]

Well, 24 views so far, Aimee. Not very sucessful advertising for ten grand.

[Onehundredjobs]

@chadbang Wrong. My soul video has over 2000 views now and my blog traffic is up thousands. I am also all over the American and International media. It has been worth it. ALSO: I am now selling a $100 000 sponsorship for MONA for my 100th Job. Onehundredjobs1@gmail.com
