[littleorangeoctopus]

I like that this upsets people b/c they can't follow along. Viewers maybe there is a point and maybe it is just something to experience, it is good to be weird!

[nonsense4000]

this sucks...what a joke

[hideouschud]

Ryan Trecartin is one of my favorite video artists. His vids are like a coke binge without the coke. The vids are pure pop songs, they hit every sugar coated beat. But in the beats there is meaning...This vid is my favorite. It works as a stand alone work...AWESOME.

[hugocarr]

Rebecca Black saw the girls in this video and thought 'me too'

[cooolness3]

These videos remind me of my dreams.

[HenhousetheRed]

I can't hear the song Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer without thinking of this.

[lolocontrol]

j'adore cette vidéo trop dingue^^

[greszkinov]

What the hell is this?

[MaxNuclear]

A new generation discovers mushrooms.

[Tezazeral]

Art?

Has society gotten to the point where nihilistic conceptualism becomes a sort of beauty? This piece has no real point, no real emotion. Nothing. . Have we gotten to the point where art is not for the society, but for the critics? What ever happened to art for arts sake.

Conceptualism is not beautiful- not even meaningful today. Its an overdone genre filled with "artists" racing to unravel ideas that have yet to be exploited. Even blank canvases have been sold as art.

Ridiculous.

[LightPollution07]

Ryan's work submerges familiar characters into an extreme poetic state where their creative potentials metastasize, but perhaps only on an illusory level. It is a project about presets and automation, subjects of fascination for Trecartin, about how these tools grease the wheels of contemporary work and play, allowing for increased productivity and easy harmonies, while also enabling pandemic monotony and deadly, blind collisions.

[RikuJerrad]

I agree so much. His 'art" is so crappy.

[homanyousofi]

you make something, anything, you can make what ever you like, and see if you can make something as ineresting. and what ever it is that you make, remember, its open reign here, whatever that is, if its better, then you can biatch like this

[badmammal]

@Tezazeral try watching the whole film from the beginning. im personally blown away by it

[calcium888]

@Tezazeral I like you. As an artist and filmmaker, this has no value for me. I understand that there is value in challenging the norm; however, this is a consummation of underdeveloped ideas. If you want to look at great art in the same vein is Tim and Eric's Awesome Show on Adult Swim. Not the first venue that comes to mind when discussing conceptual art, but their show uses absurd humor as a means for criticizing the stale state of media today.

[bfont52]

@Tezazeral

what about art for the artist's sake? most people making art are doing it for themselves not for their audience. at least that's why most start. It might not be accessible but, 99% of art is misunderstood anyway.

the guy is just making shit he likes. sometimes it's as simple as that. His stuff made it into the Whitney Biennial and Ryan didn't even know what that was at the time(see sept 10 issue of W). That's about as unassuming as you can get.

right time right place.

[laleiste]

this honestly terrifies me..

[got2many]

lol i was thinking the exact same thing when i first saw one of these videos and that was 15 mins ago.

[laleiste]

@got2many I just really despise how "art" has transformed into this disgusting sort of "realistic" idea. everything has to be dirty, everything has to show the world and all of its imperfections.. I quite honestly don't give a crap about the world's faults. When I see art or go to a museum to see art, I want to see beauty.. This is not beautiful.. It's disturbing. but man, even the fashion world has gotten ugly. People wearing clothes that make them look homeless.. I don't get it at all.

[got2many]

wow, it terrified you in that way. i was more thinking i'm gonna have nightmares for the next two weeks. i found this video by accident in an article about videos that made people famous. this first video...I-BE AREA (Double Jamie, Ramada Omar, and Sally Man Pause).....actually disturbed me.

also i agree about the whole fashion world gotten ugly. the stuff they show in fashion shows are crazy.

[hamikinBORN]

"get him in heeeerrre!"

[submadreamgun]

This is excellent psychedelic amazingness.

[kungfupart1]

this shit is retarded. i'm gonna go back to watching rap videos and halo montages

[EternalIntelligence]

WOOOOOw trippy stuff, amazing work!!!

[irwooldridge]

This is incredible work!

[TailsRocK]

what the hell is wrong with people these days......

[ohsorrycharlie]

do you have to watch these videos back to back to understand?

[sirugae]

why am i so obsessed with this?

[pizzapriestess]

@sirugae umm because it is amazing.

[thecrazythingsido]

@sirugae MAKE ME COOL

[thecrazythingsido]

@sirugae MAKE ME COOL

[sirugae]

give some money BITCH or give me a cupcake

[leginkroner]

what the fuck did you do to me. this shit made me oops poop.

[pishposhthis]

I CAN TELL IT SMELLS POPULAR

[NoerMSK]

holy fucking shit!

[toutafaitmal]

Still can't believe Trecartin actually plays Pasta.  MAGIK

[robaralis]

i also think ryan is the future of the surrealist new media art movement

[HenhousetheRed]

I want to be Pasta

[pennypyro42]

"how dare you be weak and stinky?"

[robaralis]

why is there a debate about art under this amazing vid. just watch the video, if you love it as you should, then say so, if you dont like it or understand it just shut up and google search something else.

[HBomb81]

If its art - its worth debating, amazing or not.

[robaralis]

im just not one for youtube debates , especially page long rants about whether people think this kind of thing is "art" or if the movie star wars is art. its apples and oranges,, i think youtube debates are silly.

[Enzempiro]

"Uh Charity. Charity. Give me some money Bitch. Or..Give me a cupcake."

My fav quote.

[TheRealDominicAndrew]

i love Pasta

[EbolaMaiden]

I don't like this. It's not funny or anything else that it was intended to be. Please don't make any more of these thx

P.S.: I REALLY don't like this.

[vaspers]

I think they should make millions more of these films, but you EbolaMaiden can simply NOT WATCH them, unless I pay you to. Thanks. LOL

[aroundthewayboy]

all style, no substance

[QueenSierra]

creepiest shit I've seen on youtube in awhile.

[vaspers]

The "meanings" in this art film are obvious. How more blatant do you want your little messages? Your film school professors must drill you better on avant garde techniques, and these are lofi, not even that complex, yet you still cannot "understand" this film, and you also don't understand domination systems or your own lemming life. GREAT FILM.

[Enzempiro]

Ew shut up. Your the type of people who make Art closed off to people who are curious about it. If you talk to people who are in the same field as you this way the fuck is anybody else gonna want to try and join in on the exp? Jeeze.

[vaspers]

Since you don't understand art, Enzempiro, I want you to hate this film and all my work also. You must read Derrida, Artforum, and October magazine to be hip enough to share this elite aesthetic pleasure surge. LOL

[Enzempiro]

Well to bad for your punk ass i dont have any idea what your talking about. Nor do i understand this video but it speaks to me. In some techno tripiin' language. I don't even know what i'm typing anymore but when i pick up those publications you were talking about i'll get back to you.

[UnCavCrevant]

seriously, vaspers?

you're going to bring October magazine into this?

i sincerely hope your post is merely a parody of an art snob.

[SectoroneWOS]

the canundrummers in a band called lifepuzzler

[mradamcooley]

ohh, xavier! What's up!

[Chriscriedout]

Rather would not have seen this.

[melbabiee]

my art history prof showed this clip in class, but honestly i have noooo idea what it's about. i'd love it if someone could explain to me!

[Satanicuslupis]

Hunter Student?

[melbabiee]

yeah lol. you too?

[kimonolazer]

Bravoooo! Its the closest thing to watching MTV. Almost as bad, keep it up!!!!

[gloriousrebirth]

Acting wigger is accepted part of white culture. There's nothing transgressive about this. It's just ... bad.

[mustardcolor]

i don't get it (AT ALL) what is this shit about?

[HenhousetheRed]

superluminal lives

[dakdakdak]

Ok. I've watched it enough times now to fully get everything. Basically, its totally right on. YES! fluid-identity-meta-matrix-sim­ulation-simulation-sim. See U in April

[supermarky]

I enjoyed this thoroughly and found it to be so well done! It reminds me of this awful film I saw by I think the guy's name is Mike Kelley only ... this Pasta person has really ... done what that guy was seemingly trying but failing miserably in all parameters to achieve.  it is hard to imagine watching a feature length version of same but I'm sorry I missed my chance in LA and hope another comes along. It really is so furious an experience that I feel I love it but could be wrong but htink not!

[ishtargurl]

This is how I feel like when I don't take aderall. I love it. An interesting variety of mumblecore and not lacking in cultural commentary either. Fun to watch in that it makes you feel like throwing up.

[chrismighton]

oh....my....god....I think I just went through a mind-fuck-warp. I will never be the same.

[jachichacin]

Charity, charity, give me money bitch, or give me a cupcake <- LOL

[fmente]

this video made a gracious and eletric dance through my spine.

[methethird333]

it's like i've already died and get to see a new behavioural perception of reality...gummy gum..it't something something...great

[skloot]

i watched the entirety of i-be area last night in a theater. i really didn't feel right afterward. not that it int one of the most fantastic things ever!

[meowmeowmitchell]

m-peggy had a lot of fun on that car ride

[rayrayskimps]

im not allowed to live on my own toll im 18 thats 6 years from now!

[DrRazorblade]

colored teeth will be the next wave of fashion because if you

[twistinginthewind]

I've watched and thought about this possibly too much. I first saw it in a museum setting (in a run that ends this weekend) here in OH, and it probably goes without saying that it plays differently in that context. But on that larger scale, and this more intimate one, the video does things that I've never seen before. This is moment-defining shit in video art that is difficult (but rewarding) to ponder, and 100% impossible to describe. Hats off to the makers.

[insaneclown4u]

it started off as a really bad trip. i thought this was going to be about acid or something, clearly not.

[aimeegoguen]

this is amazing!

[kp93]

ITS ME! (amanduh)

and my house.

hell yeah!

[twistinginthewind]

Chemotherapy for your brain.

[fredjhenzel]

Isn't this just what life was like in 2008?

[HenhousetheRed]

Alison Powell is great

[Josephixiation]

this video has completely changed my life forever, forever, forever... seriously now... listen.

[benepenny]

you're supposed to look up to this person ... and not just because you're short! .... LOLOLOLOLOL

But I like the name, "Charity". What-ever, Aman-DA!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL

[bonesintheriver]

I LOVE PASTA!!!

[robaralis]

i cant even stand how great this is

[taskforcecomputer]

Am i being a neo-con? R.Trecartin is the best american poet. maybe the first .

[vipp123]

Great work! The part at 3.30 made me crack up.

[el3ctrickiwi]

really good

[fersheeze]

DO NOT GIVE UP.

u should make your movie 3d cause the edit is so fast that is feels like if u were immersed in it and it would feel exactly like a real dream.

[theblahs]

wtf is this? I'm just quoting over half this video to folks all around me.

"Because we know right now, and we know how to make thinks happen right now."

So yeah. Brilliant.

[stinji]

perfect

[arielbustamante]

oo-My-God
