It's not moving spirals, but moving circles; due to their proximity the circles are perceived as a spiral

For me this couldn't be easier to understand(not a jibe, the simplest approach is the best-its easiest to understand it as having no meaning, and it doesn't ). Its surrealist and anti narrative. The words don't make any sense.. The swirling draws you in to try derive some meaning from it but then takes it away by presenting you with gibberish. Its trying to take us away from the limits of narrative a present us with something boundless and limitless..so its meaning is its lack of meaning!

[loopreeze]

the way i understand it, art, expresses an idea, comunicates a direction, not a given thought, but rather a new posibility, an incognita.

[HalogenBurn]

Shut the hell up.

[loopreeze]

sooo... no? all right. ill shut up then. what do you think this movie means?

[HalogenBurn]

I don't know. Not because I don't know, but because for some reason it won't load. My point is that you're not an art critic. You're on youtube for gods sake. And spewing vocab doesn't mean you understand Duchamp.

[sylvestermeow]

experimental film is number 1!

 I made a new Dada film, Dada New York. It's hard to get people into the actual term, "Dada." So much of what we are now, comes from what they did back then. Dada New York Chairman Meow

[lunadalionly1]

what is the purpose of art? to be able to communicate an idea? or just to express it?

[defo89]

I believe it is to express it, communication of ideas, has to do more with design as an independent discipline, wich uses art as a tool.

[Raccord]

For me it's to express a FEELING, not necesarily an IDEA as a concept. Of course that sometimes that becomes an idea, then a concept, etc.

Thats just me, though!

[lapsus5]

a freakin' genius!

[lapsus5]

I love Duchamp. He was an innovator in the art world. He realized art could surpass modernist trends and did what nowadays we call "new media" art and "installation". He was a true vanguard in the art world.

[nichelodeonband]

Nichelodeon's first promo is called "Cinemanemico", an homage to a genius

[sheep41]

arts next big question is

"can art get any more simple then this?"

reply with your thought and comment

i say no cause casue i just cant think of anything else? if there was something more simple someone would of done it by now!

[TigerRocket]

Your assumption seems to be that because one cannot think of something now that someone in the future wont either. Concepts and creativity are not limited to the present or the past or any one individual.

There is nothing about thoughts or ideas that preclude future possibilities simply because one cannot think of them. There was a time when much of what we take for granted simply wasn't so, ideas and concepts included.

[mopsius]

A seminal work at the beginning of the second stage of cinema, bridging the kinematic of Nude Descending a staircase and the effects of Doctor Melies.

By the end of his life and work, Duchamp had already transcended television and computer graphics, and is now still at least fifty years ahead of lagging world.

[republikanin]

i don't get any of it. this means nothing. if u wanna see a real artist from the early era check out Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

[xicocamotl]

You're totally free to not get any of this, but that doesn't necessarily make it mean nothing... Do you differentiate a "real" artist from one that's not, according to if you get it or not?

[republikanin]

do you think you're an artist if you make something only you can understand? that's what the guy did. the rest claims to see in it some incredible message, but most of them don't get it as well and pretend to be smart. give u an example: a friend of mine wrote a song on having sex on a train. he used no dirty words, just tried to make it nice: the audience said it was a metaphysical story on searching of the meaning of life and the autor must have a deep spirituality. c what i mean?

[xicocamotl]

I guess it's not necessary to "understand" a work of art; at least, not in the domestic way you "understand" other things... Visual arts, especially since the artist you call "the guy" showed up in 1914, demands from you as a viewer something more than just opening your eyes. If you are interested in the origins of contemporary art, you may want to study in depth the work of Marcel Duchamp. Two books I suggest: the Complete Works (by A. Schwartz) and his biography by Calvin Tomkins.

[almanacofsleep]

@republikanin the work is intended for the veiwer to bring his own experiences when creating an interpration, not try to discover the "message". It doesn't describle anything it simply is an open work.

[yellville]

Funny you should mention Lang (whom I love, and perhaps appreciate more than I do Duchamp, though I don't think the two bear comparison). The wheel aesthetic actually reminds me very much of Lang. However, just because the two artists are from the same time period doesn't mean it makes sense for the quality of their pieces to be compared broadly and generally.

"Matte painting Speed painting in photoshop"

stick to that

[TheatreOfTheAbsurd]

thanksu

[IntellectualJunior]

God I barely understand what i'm reading, are they poems?

[xicocamotl]

They are puns, amazing wordplays in french

[BatOtaku13]

what the hell was this?

[nunomiguelneto]

this is a movie made by marcel duchamp.. a great artist! Really great Artist!

[BatOtaku13]

I'm an artist, and I don't know what to think of this really. Its just bizarre. It would pry help if I understood the messages though.

[aylastarsapphire]

If Art isn't at times at least a little bizarre, then it would be entirely anemic. Blessings - A.S.S.

[MostFamousDavid]

They're French puns. It's strange how much easier it is to make puns in French.

[sylablu]
