Genius or insane. What do you think of this guy's work?

[CMoore]

hi cmoore
i might be one of the people you refer to ? not sure
as i said i can understand why a lot of people who are here don't enjoy this type of work
it isn't their cup of tea, my comment has got nothing to do with someone saying they don't like things
i dont' like a lot of things but i don't suggest the person making them are mediocre at best, ripping someone else off
or a talentless hack.. my comment has to do with the
typical " its so easy even a kindergartner could do it "

I was simply commenting on The Fact of the thread title.
The OP has ASKED what people think of the pics.
You do not ASK people what they think of a
Color
Food
Car
Photo
Whatever
.....and then criticize them if they say they to do not like it.
I do not care for them either and can EASILY Understand why a lot of people would not see the "worth" in them.
The other side of that coin.?
I (just) took an Alternative Process class at my local college. I know that A LOT of people in that class would Like/Be Interested in the photos in the link.

the eerie/haunting images that depect swarms of people
at subway stations ( i cant' remember who did them but i remember them )

Titarenko?

Titarenko?

YES !!

used to be =)

whatever .. still was part of an internationally recognized group, cant say that for a lot of folks

 

[pdeeh]

YES !!

A few years ago (not many) I was told on a (digital) forum that Titarenko's work wasn't interesting because "Anyone could do it" ... OK then, off you go, come back when you've done it (I wish I'd said).

 

[removed account4]

exactly pdeeh !
the folks who typically claim how easy something is
and that anyone can do it don't usually come back after you
suggest they try it. maybe its too easy for them, or they are too
busy doing whatever else they are doing or its too far out of their wheelhouse
that's ok. i can deal with folks saying " i don't like it" but the incessant
its so easy my dog could do it kind of make me cranky ..
the way i see it is the easier something looks probably the more difficult it is

fwiw "genius" isn't related to "sanity" any more than skin color is. Words actually do matter.
