It becomes a sort of post-modern performance art piece if you play any track from Kind of Blue behind it instead of the original audio.

more evidence that the women belong sin the kitchen

Troll. So tired.

Simple-minded moron so tired


Yup, I'm a moron because I don't appreciate the high-art of "women belong sin the kitchen".

Such subtlety! Such subtext!

Sorry, but the "westy the internet retard" act is tired. Maybe you should try "westy the racist birther conspiracist" or "westy the neocon libertarian douche-bag". There's plenty of folks on the sift doing "performance-art" that are more interesting and entertaining than just behaving like a dumb-ass.

Ha, Thanks Bea.
I used to have a video of these guy when they were just starting out on a CD from some video magazine.
Originally, the group was formed by a bunch of them who were Fine Arts Student and wanted to do something with their art training so they started making the masks and costumes which became performance art and evolved into the music group. I was just coming out of out of my fifth your of art school myself when I first hear of them so they clicked with me right away! Art students make the best friends!

gaaaahhh!!!!! *promote GWAR

I wouldn't put art on the list of uniquely human behaviors. Bowerbirds create some pretty amazing displays. And there's all the "performance" art of different species mating rituals. And before you try to make a distinction between human and animal art, think about how many teenage boys learned to play guitar or wrote poetry so they could impress the girls. Humans creating art is really just a sexual/social act. That it's developed into things as incredible as Bach's fugues is just a matter of degree.

Abstract mathematics, though, is definitely something uniquely human. I can't think of anything like it outside of human behavior.

also, homoerotic japenese modern performance art

Performance art.

He obviously wants to be banned, as a dramatic finale to his Andy Kaufman-lite performance art. If we really wanted to fuck with him, we'd let him stay on the site, but take away his ability to comment and downvote, and limit his queue to one video.


Can we do that? Please? It would amuse me greatly.

Forget banning. We need to spay or neuter the trolls.

I wonder if he discarded my playlist? Can you do that Lucky? I seriously have no idea how my playlist To Promote was deleted.
It is a sad thing as it was the #1 playlist.


I was going to ask - what happened to the playlist??? Ah... mysterious Om nom nom.

Typical... Chinese people love to be copycats.
The pioneer here is Denny Dent
Dan Dunn really perfected the art, though.
Have a look: http://www.videosift.com/video/Dan-Dunns-Paintjam-performance-art
He has many videos on YouTube... well worth the watch.


That's some pretty sweet sweeping generalization there Pprt. Yeah, Denny did it first and Dunn did it better, but it's still quite the performance, and she also added the rotations and a bit of choreography to it and made it her own.

Mostly though, nice racism.

And why Eia? It's a performing art, and it worked out fine.

Technically it's not livemusic, but we seem to have made an exception for performance-art... though that's really more like dance than anything. I'm calling *comedy on it though.

Wow, what a speedy promote, that's a first:) thx, the clip deserves it, it's such a weird underground mashup/performance art trip..

Tags for this video have been changed from 'blowjob, felatio, mic, microphone, performance art, technique' to 'blowjob, beejer, fellatio, mic, microphone, performance art, technique' - edited by calvados

I'd say this also qualifies as a very unusual form of performance *art.
