So just went to the Mr. brainwash art gallery in Beverly Hills, and I am blown away; it was the most fun, enjoyable, uplifting, playful, inspirational and motivational art exhibit of all time.
Why this matters 
This is a big deal. Why this is a big deal.
First, life without art would be a mistake. Life without art is not a life worth living.
For example, if you think about all of capitalism and consumerism, I think much of it is predicated on art.
For example, what is clothing and fashion? It is essentially art fabric sculptures for your body, your human body!
What is a car? Moving sculpture, a metal steel based thing which is secondly a piece of transportation.
Has nobody figured out how insanely important cybertruck is; essentially it is the ultimate modernist expression of moving sculpture?
I actually have a vision; gloss red cyber truck,
 with yellow calipers, or yellow rims… Essentially imagine looking at like a fake Ferrari, but cybertruck.
Cybertruck is the best thing to have ever happened in the automotive world!
The best art
A lot of people say art for art sake, but following in the footsteps of Nietzsche, I think actually the purpose of art isn’t art for art’s sake, rather, it is art for the sake of happiness joy, the great stimulus to life!
In fact, I have a theory… When a lot of people become emo, sad dark and morose, is this issue here they are simply not having enough great art in their life?
Even being at the Mr. brainwash exhibition, they were just playing some great OG classical music on the speakers, and even hearing the great classical music put me in such good mood! Beethoven, Bach, Mozart.
Maybe I’ll start to listen to more classical music?
The best
Classicus,,, the ancient Romans, typically when we think about the word classic we tend to think about old school. But actually… In ancient Rome classicus, the elite class,,, “classicus†or “classic†simply meant “the bestâ€ï¿¼.
So then, what life then becomes about isn’t seeking the old school for the sake of the old school, but rather, seeking the best? 
Why the best?
Why not?
Joy!
I think nowadays, to be joyful and happy in today’s world is a great act of courage? It is easy to be emo depressed, sad, to opine about how the world is going to explode whatever. It takes much more courage to be joyful, happy and gleeful, to be the gay monster admist all of the emoness? 
Better to be a gay monster than a sentimental bore – Galiani
Choose joy
I prefer the word joy over happiness. Why? I think happiness is too much of a consumerist merchandised concept now. Joy is a lot simpler, like joy to the world!
Music, what is music? Joy to our ears and to our soul.
What is art, photography, paintings images and sculpture? Joy to our visual brain senses?
Participatory art
I think what is so amazing and what was so fun at the Mr. brainwash art exhibit was how almost all the exhibitions, you could interact with it! And also you are encouraged to photograph and video everything!
For example, all of the recreations of the van Gogh paintings, and also, the famous painting of the laundromat girl, but made in three dimensions, sculpture, with a MacBook laptop? And the fact that you could interact with it, pose with it, and become the painting? 
Fun!
A big idea I think that art should and must be fun! If art is boring, not fun or playful, it is not worth it. 
The next Andy Warhol?
I’m like so into Mr. brainwash, in some ways he has more courage than Bansky, who is a bit of a coward if you think about the fact that he keeps his anonymity.
Street art is cool, but to expose yourself to the public, facing forward… Takes a lot more courage!
The funniest thing in the exit through the gift shop documentary was how Mr. brainwash in advertently became more famous and more successful than Banksky, who he was trying to emulate?
Don’t trust these skinny fat loser constipated artist and critics 
A lot of modern art exhibitions and museums — I hate them because they are cold and sterile, and it feels like you’re not allowed to photograph or shoot stuff?
The Mr. brainwash art gallery is my new happy favorite place; and also across the street, to our free parking! I plan on going back with Seneca, maybe I’ll shoot some more GoPro POV footage there?
I love Beverly Hills!
Beverly Hills often gets a bad rap for being pretentious whatever… But actually, it is so fun! It’s almost like Disneyland for capitalism consumerism on steroids; 90% of the people there are just happy tourist, which I like. The typical LA transplant tends to be dark morose and emo; we real people from LA, we are happy jovial and joyful, friendly happy and smiley!
The next workshop
In fact, I’m even thinking about doing a photography workshop in Beverly Hills, maybe we could all go to the Mr. brainwash art museum together, have fun like a bunch of kids, and be inspired together?
My vision of art: my vision is that art should be open to everybody, accessible to everybody, and also, fun for everybody! It should be not pretentious, not fake. Also, it should be free, open to the public, accessible to anybody, doesn’t matter if you’re 70 years old or three years old.
I think that art might be able to solve 50% of the world’s problems, maybe the other 50% can be bitcoin.
Or even a more radical idea; if you combine bitcoin and art, 50%+50% is 100%. Then… Can bitcoin art be the solution to the maladies of the planet? 
Maybe! Perhaps I’ll try and pioneer this!
Bitcoin art is the way
Great artist steal.
Also, great artist “up cycleâ€, recycle, sample, remix, and parody the classics!
This is where our source is so appealing to me; I hate restrictions, I hate copyright in laws; I prefer freedom.
In fact in two days brave new digital world, I’ve ChatGPT and AI… The whole copyright model is broken.
For example, certainly creators need to make money and a profit, but the big issue here is that all the craters are essentially slaves to corporations, and looks like a lot of these new digital slumlords, who control the “content“ of its creators… What they are essentially seeking is a mini of control, within a small mileau, trying to assert control and power in their very small domain?
Nvidia is close to a $4T company??
I was shocked, apparently now that the number two most world’s important company is Nvidia, right after Apple?
In fact, I actually wonder if Nvidia is more valuable than Apple. The only reason why Apple is valuable is because they have the iPhone, but if and when Nvidia creates their own phone, that doesn’t require an iPhone, this will be a big deal?
How to art
There are so many ways you could art.
So one funny idea I have is just taking famous artworks of the past, and copy pasting bitcoin icons on top of it. This is essentially the hilarious parody that Mr. brainwashed with a lot of these classical paintings, and also Banksky,  the art of uncovering BS?
the problem about the art world
I think the biggest problem about the art world is everyone is using irony sarcasm and fake big talk to try to inflate their fragile egos, and into control running their mini fiefdoms? 
A writer and thinker that I’m kind of into right now is Saifedean — who wrote the bitcoin standard and the fiat standard. I first read his books because I was curious about bitcoin, but what I found very very fascinating was his critiques about art, the art world, and modernism and modern architecture? He’s kind of like NASSIM TALEB in that way (both Lebanese, Lebanese-American) — very outspoken, calls out BS. 
If you have ever been to a modern art exhibit, and you see a piece of white paper with a hole in it, and it’s worth $1 million, and you’re scratching your head, I’m with you.
Honestly, more or less all of modern day art is a scam, but that’s OK. You don’t have to participate if you don’t want to! Nobody is strong arming you to do so!
The new art
My personal vision is that I want to disrupt the art world. I certainly have done it for the world of street photography; essentially I killed all of these loser skinny fat anemic notions in street photography of what is considered good or bad, essentially the funny thing with photography is that while it should on paper be the most democratic open and egalitarian form of photography, as the streets are public and should be public and accessible to everybody… Once again, all of these ridiculous ivory towers?
Now what?
Maybe now I have some sort of moral or ethical imperative to make a difference?
