I keep expecting, any day now, one of these extremist leaders is going to stand up and announce that it was all some sort of moralistic performance art and they didn't really mean any of it.

We'll all feel uncomfortable about how far we got lead down the hole. Then we'll laugh uncomfortably and learn an important lesson.

This is my hope and dream for the world.

I'm disturbed by this. Not the violence portrayed but the fact I'm dubious as to the sincerity of it.

My first thought was they got EXACTLY what they wanted. Then I thought maybe they got exactly what they wanted because all parts were controlled, Pussy, "Cossacks", media and "Police".

This seems more like performance art than a true trampled protest.

"Putin will teach you how to love the Motherland" seems a caricature to me.

I'm also not a fan of immersionist journalism which VICE uses as their raison d'etre (They're from Quebec). Seems to much like the polar opposite of whatever it is you call Fox News. Both are propaganda I guess.

I don't doubt the whippees were harmed. I'm sure it hurt like a somnabitch. I also know people are willing to do a lot of crap for a cause. Hell, there are a lot of people who getting beat like this just means it was a fun Saturday night.

today's lesson on the international music scene: this guy's name is Stromae (which comes from inverting the syllables of "maestro" which is a practice in French slang called "verlan" which comes from the inverted syllables of "l'envers" which, in French, means "the inverse") who, in this moving bit of performance art, recounts how quickly one can fall from being "wonderful" (fr: formidable) after a breakup. this video has ~30,000,000 views and he has 2 songs in the billboard top 10 France right now. talent. i'm going to get a beer. peace.

I get all the drama I need out of my own life...I don't need staged performances to feel alive. "Love", by my definition, doesn't include walking away and never seeing each other again.

They may have a different definition. But nothing requires me to buy into it, or see it as anything but yet another marketing ploy. Pretty much like most "performance art".

Your video, Now, That's performance art (read description)., has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

It's pretty obvious that it's either a prank or performance art based on the works around them. Maybe they should have done it around some more contemporary works.

That's just WAY too short. This clip combines two of the most intriguing forms of artistic performances that there are, as far as I'm concerned. The whole projection mapping field has done some amazing works. And the BMG, with their unique instruments and style, well, let's just say that they're premiere performers in all aspects. Combining the two, now that it's been done, it seems so obvious that it would be incredible.

Now if we could just add Cirque du Soleil into the mix, I think we might approach the ultimate performance art.

I love it when people break away from what's expected and indulge in a bit of off the wall performance art like this. Not all the time, but on this occasion definitely!

Is it really *talks? I would say it's more or less performance *art

you give him too much credit, but yes, that reading is there if you choose to see it...>> ^direpickle:

It's funny that I don't really respect the talents of any of the people that hate Obama(excluding Clint), and kind of like those that like Obama.

I felt exactly the same. Regarding Clint; He is still the man, but in supporting Romney I think his fan base will have shrunk considerably (not that he would give a f ck).

I don't think people really get what Clint was doing. He was obviously giving a Dadaist performance in favor of Obama. Did you notice how all of the things he yelled at Invisible Obama for were actually things that Bush II set in motion (Afghanistan war), things the Republicans in Congress explicitly blocked (Gitmo's still open), and things that Romney's currently wanting to do?

Awesome...performance art (which is what wrestling generally is) at its best.

Did you hear that whooshing sound? That's the sound of us blowing past the boundary between "insurance fraud" and "performance art".

Alternatively: This was a huge miscommunication. His friend had told him, "I'm making a killing in insurance fraud. You should take a run at it."

Whatsamattahu? never seen performance art before?
