It's not Art...is engineering....

[TheJacklikesvideos]

i think it's facking genius.

[lsmayhew1]

this comment is art.

[globalmilind]

BOB The Builder!!!!

[WolfsBlood84]

Refreshingly inventive and wonderfully bizarre. How is this NOT art?

[Arthalot]

Yeah, of course it is.  Watch his Big Wheel too, and if you don't get any sense of metaphor from these, get off youtube.

[greenknightfenrir]

za warudo!!!!

[jimbobklyn1963]

once again the youtube comment section never fails to deliver.

[gabbyhaye]

asking if it's art takes the place of art criticism. it's art. there's something very sad about a steam roller to begin with. A flying steam roller, all the more so.

[almanacofsleep]

This is Chelsea school of art and design, not the South London Gallery

[peterinfamilyguy]

I feel fucking sorry for these pathetic attempts to create "art".. this is just stupidity.

[gabbyhaye]

@peterinfamilyguy the mona lisa makes me feel the same way. Several of the paintings and etchings on the walls of my house make me feel sorry. all attempts to create art are pathetic. it's part of the process. I don't see anything stupid in it, though. Someone put a lot of hours and thought and straight-ahead engineering into this. To say nothing of the steam roller.

[lobezno06]

that is not the question in question

=)

[TheKnowerseeker]

This was mildly interesting.

[isfunnycuzistrue]

this is cool :o all this weight and force and not 1 sound!

[MrDaddy928]

Everything I've seen this guy do is pretty awesome. I like it. but I still don't see why. lol.

My other comment was "Looks like a buncha rich white dudes wasting money"

[thisisoutragious]

[oddball173]

[nereidenereide]

Like when u r a child and someone takes ur hands and spin u around... Just now we have machine to spin us around...

[9originalmonks]

this is dope

[sassaru]

whether it is art or not, is not the question, do you like it? put art in a box, and dont take anything for granted :)

[armyofmeisbliss]

why do you ask if this is art?

there is good music and bad music, right?

this could be bad art, couldn't it?

except it isn't.

[mynumberonehat]

art is subjective you fuckin moron.

[armyofmeisbliss]

did you even grasp what I'm trying to say here?

Yeah, I thought so...

[mynumberonehat]

yea that was my fault, i was under the influence of whiskey when i wrote that.

[delvinmacmillen18]

@armyofmeisbliss Never thought a machine can be art. White people these days are so clueless.

[bobcurtiz]

great piece of art!

[TheMrTHelmer]

@bobcurtiz how is this art?

[bobcurtiz]

@TheMrTHelmer . its irritating, its unusual, its an amazing, crazy idea, it makes me wondering, its in a very special way beautiful, it tries something that combines the human greed with technical impotence - this all is for me a kind of art - art can changes the view of things - contemporary art is a strong power - I don't know from where you are - but this piece connected us with a very important question: what is art? I think this is a good matter. lg heiko

[jimsottile]

They were actually able to lift Chris Burden, amazing ;)

[alphanumerica111]

eat a dick

[kaltech19]

[gerantgerant]

Brilliant. Balance, inertia, g-force, repetition, golden rule, etc... Awesome.

[sup3ryummy]
