I would do it soon if you don't know when the last time was. I have no idea when it was done... probably not for a long time. I'm calling around trying to get quotes, I intended to sell it but it wouldn't feel right knowing the belt situation could really fuck the new owner.

m42b32 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Apparently the new M6 GT3 art car is being revealed at some point today. It should certainly be interesting, especially after the success of the last one Earl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 The only reason Steven Baldessari passes as an artist is because he has a fancy last name. If his name was Steven Johnson nobody would care about his doodles. Speaking of Johnson's: the only reason he can get away with holding a red wang is because he has a fancy last name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 So he had the car painted satin black and then made an app that shows shit floating around it? I mean at least Baldessari painted something on the car... Ryan... and B C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m42b32 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I think its actually just bare carbon, so they didn't even paint it (looks cool, but not an art car without the app). It's a neat idea but you can really only experience it if you are next to the car in person and from what I can tell you need to have an iphone, as the only link posted by bmw for the app was to the apple app store. As an android user I'll just have to make due with an unpainted M6... B C and KaiserRolls 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I don't know how to say it without being offensive to people who do design and digital work, but the talent it took to make that app and design what he did isn't something "world class artist" to me.

Earl Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I mean sure the app effects look somewhat neat but isn't the whole purpose of an art car to have a car covered in art? I understand each artist has a different medium but they should really keep it to artists who phyisically alter the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'd be fine with them leaving it bare carbon and calling it good. Just the fact that they've insulted our intelligence by even calling the pokemon go bullshit app art is frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I mean it is a bare carbon car with an app. So technically it is just a bare carbon car now lol. Not painting or applying a single thing to the body doesnt seem to make it art to me. To be minimalist they would have had to put some sort of mark on the car.

Let's go back in time and say they never told us there was an app to use and BMW just said "Hey, we're saying fuck it and here's a bare carbon car we're going to race." That situation would have been better than, "Ohhhhh! Look how progressive and abstract we are!". Maybe there's a segment of their audience that "get's it" but clearly they missed the mark with the core audience that can't afford to buy a new car.

Earl Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 That's just a normal door number in helvetica... She didn't decide the number or font lol I am just saying as an art car, there is no art without the app. If it were just a new car that they stated "Hey we are running the new car without a livery." it would be one thing. I believe that the reason this is art is because it is "innovative and unlike any art car before". At the end of the day, it is nothing without the app or location that they are doing the VR experience. No extra work was actually put onto the car hands on by the artist to alter the way it physically sits on this earth. It will just be a raw car less a livery out on the track.

But how do you know she didn't specifically choose helvetica for it's bold no nonsense statement making potential yet universal acceptance as a font standard! I didn't realize you were so passionate about art and what defines art. My point is this is stupid. I understand it from a concept and how it is perceived as art but I still think it's stupid and that's the point of art, evoke emotion. In this case it evokes contempt and disappointment. Just the same way you could perceive bare carbon as art. The way it reflects and absorbs light, the pattern consistency, etc. Earl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
