I'd guess that it would cause warping as the structure got bigger, they need the previous layers to cool rapidly to prevent deformation (although the previous layer needs to be hot enough to get a good water tight bond). Coming up with the right temp so that it forms a seamless flat surface would be difficult without causing running.

Not to be "that guy" (okay, what the hell, I love being "that guy") but aside from arty stuff, light shades, the aforementioned ashtrays and perhaps some really funky vases/glasses, this really seems to be limited by the method of extrusion and the refraction caused by having so many curved surfaces throughout the piece.

him waking up from his dream and other scenes reminded me too much of the matrix and other movies. i was bored watching this whatever it was... rubbish.. yes rubbish. it was like the sort of nonsense the arty farty world would show in the tate modern

"the only people that get laid less than funny fat guys are serious fat guys" - artie lang

I don't know what his taste in movies is like, but on Drive I completely agree. Like completely. He nailed what the movie is. It felt fucking idiotic to have all those shots of people just staring at each other instead of saying the script (that they cut so people could stare at each other and be arty.) Yeah the soundtrack was great and there were some fantastic moments, but moments don't make a movie for me.

That's interesting. In his Democracy in America Vol 2, Chapter XX "HOW AN ARISTOCRACY MAY BE CREATED BY MANUFACTURES", Baron de Tocqueville warned of these dangers (in 1840!):

In proportion as the principle of the division of labor is more
extensively applied, the workman becomes more weak, more
narrow-minded, and more dependent. The art advances, the arti-
san recedes. On the other hand, in proportion as it becomes more
manifest that the productions of manufactures are by so much the
cheaper and better as the manufacture is larger and the amount
of capital employed more considerable, wealthy and educated
men come forward to embark in manufactures, which were here-
tofore abandoned to poor or ignorant handicraftsmen. The mag-
nitude of the efforts required and the importance of the results to
be obtained attract them. Thus at the very time at which the sci-
ence of manufactures lowers the class of workmen, it raises the
class of masters.

While the workman concentrates his faculties more and more
upon the study of a single detail, the master surveys an extensive
whole, and the mind of the latter is enlarged in proportion as that
of the former is narrowed. In a short time the one will require
nothing but physical strength without intelligence; the other
stands in need of science, and almost of genius, to ensure success.
This man resembles more and more the administrator of a vast
empire; that man, a brute.

The master and the workman have then here no similarity, and
their differences increase every day. They are connected only like
the two rings at the extremities of a long chain. Each of them fills
the station which is made for him, and which he does not leave;
the one is continually, closely, and necessarily dependent upon the
other and seems as much born to obey as that other is to com-
mand. What is this but aristocracy?

Then in Vol 3, Chapter VI, "WHAT SORT OF DESPOTISM DEMOCRATIC NATIONS HAVE TO FEAR" he goes on, describing a situation where a democratic nation has become
subject to a despotic government, and when the people give up and stop participating in democracy:

Subjection in minor affairs breaks out every day and is felt by
the whole community indiscriminately. It does not drive men to
resistance, but it crosses them at every turn, till they are led to
surrender the exercise of their own will. Thus their spirit is grad-
ually broken and their character enervated; whereas that obedi-
ence which is exacted on a few important but rare occasions only
exhibits servitude at certain intervals and throws the burden of it
upon a small number of men. It is in vain to summon a people
who have been rendered so dependent on the central power to
choose from time to time the representatives of that power; this
rare and brief exercise of their free choice, however important it
may be, will not prevent them from gradually losing the faculties
of thinking, feeling, and acting for themselves, and thus gradually
falling below the level of humanity.

Or in other words, once you have managed to oppress the people of a democratic nation, the very equality that defines a democratic nation leaves them powerless and unable to organise together and throw off their chains.

I respectfully disagree. It is somewhere near the line, but in my opinion it has enough artistic merit to be safe... now there have been other vids posted recently that were the wrong side of the line, but they didn't get an upvote from me .

Now who was it who said that if it's out of focus it's art and if it's in sharp focus it's porn?

This vid would need less than 2 mins cut to be very clearly and unambigously an arty conceptual performance with an electronica backing track... as is it's a bit in (or near) the grey area.

Ooh, anorexia is so arty!

@rich_magnet @deathcow @PlayhousePals....

The mirage is an reference to what the photographer says about the image.

I was being artistic and arty-farty.

Allusional rather than illusional.

And apparently obtuse and vague.

Ha!

Traditional marriage has a 50% failure in the USA, add gay marriage and you increase the rate of failure.

Also, Artie should disown his daughter.

Oh how I miss Artie Lange.

So this song made me do some wikipidiaing. I love punk, usually pop punk and stuff that is very ironic or just silly, The Vandals, The Ramones, ect. I have heard of new wave before, but didn't really know what it was. So, this band is classified as indi-new wave. And new wave is basically post punk with a more electronic feel and less "arty" than most post punk (punk takes itself to seriously now a days, you are lost punk, so lost!)

All that to say, I really liked this song, and it somehow reminded me of punk. Now I found the connection and perhaps a brand new genera of music to like
