Well DrHerbz and Fez909...what do ye reckon? Invisible art pieces ready by midnight tonight or will we need more time?
I've looked at a space on my bedroom ceiling for years. I could photograph it and post it.

I like some of those invisible pieces. Especially the police report and the horse one. Not yours though bubblesmcgrath 
, no offence but they lack the interest that the pieces have been thought about have.

No offence taken. Maybe some context and narrative will help.. really a lot of thought and time went into selecting the "image not available" picture. There are so many variations. .... in fact it struck me that a collage of thousands of them would be interesting.
As for my other offering, every space was counted and there were 1500 spaces.

Thing is, and your posts illustrate this well (thanks!), good conceptual art works when as much effort goes into the concept as a representational painter will put into the execution of the painting.
Conceptual art isn't "easy" and half-assed bullshit is as distinct from a serious, considered, thought provoking piece as a poorly executed landscape is from a good one.

Nah..sorry..I don't agree.
1000 hours...artist hangs a blank piece of paper up and says he looked at it for 1000 hours.....
Someone buys a piece of white paper as a masterpiece?
....in 200 years time will it still be a masterpiece?
Real skill and longevity are important too imo.
The artist who sold balloons full of his breath...he blew up a few balloons and suddenly they're art. Buyer realised after three days the air was gone out of them...floppy balloons....
The empty room with two industrial air conditioners blowing air moistened by the water used to wash the dead bodies of mexican drug dealers.
Biggest problem with these examples and the ones abovr is that in my view they're one trick ponies....
But if people want to have balloons full of artist's piss then they're perfectly welcome to buy them.
And the galleries that promote these balloons full of piss are entitled to do so. And if some art professor decides to award the piss filled balloons with a prize then hurrah fot the artist..the gallery. ..the buyer...
But please don't expect or think that I'll ever believe it is an aesthetically worthwhile exercise.

This pixel has been sat on an old monitor in my garage for 16 years, so I plugged in the monitor and set the pixel free.
I did have to encapsulate the pixel to prevent it from escaping.
If you feel you could give this pixel a good home, please contact me.

It was never a masterpiece. It was never anything more than a blank piece of paper... unless you're a deluded bullshitter.

People paid £8 to see it at the Hayward Gallery in London.
"I think visitors will find that there is plenty to see and experience in this exhibition of invisible art," said Ralph Rugoff, director of the Hayward Gallery"
"Also in the exhibition will be Warhol's work Invisible Sculpture – dating from 1985 – which consists of an empty plinth, on which he had once briefly stepped, one of his many explorations of the nature of celebrity."

This cracks me up completely though. ...
In 2005 Gianni Motti sold a work which he said he had moulded using fat from Silvio Berlusconi for £9,862. (He reportedly acquired the fat from a liposuction clinic)
The guy's got a sense of humour in fairness lol.....and I bet he lolled all the way to the soon to be bust bank of Italy.
Now that's performance art ....

I'll start the bidding at €2...
It's an historic commentary on the movement of digital society through the period encapsulating the millenium.
This pixel has experienced the trials and tribulations of bugs, Windows 98, XP and more.
It's a statement about the freedom that the digital world has afforded humankind and as such is remarkable in and of itself.
Definitely a goer ...
I may even bid against myself as a defiant act of performance art...
Yes!!!!!
€3!!!!!!

I'm afraid you're chucking around terms somewhat indiscriminately. Masterpieces and "good" artworks are not mutually interchangeable terms. Masterpiece has a different meaning, a culturally loaded one in part? But also in part more reliant upon the technical skill of the artist. So, of course, it's more appropriate for certain forms of art than others. The skill in conceptual art comes from an intellectual source rather than a technical source.
Equally art does not always have rely upon aesthetics (and especially not beauty) for its "quality". To believe so is very limiting.
But, I guess I'm wasting my breath here. Teenagers are able to "get it", but it appears some of you don't, or choose not to.
Oh well.

Sorry, that's too short a time for me to be able to produce something like this. I'll need to research the methods used in these invisible pieces to really do the topic justice.Well DrHerbz and Fez909...what do ye reckon? Invisible art pieces ready by midnight tonight or will we need more time?
I've looked at a space on my bedroom ceiling for years. I could photograph it and post it.
I'm fascinated by the different methods used to produce the same effect.

Ok...week from today suit you better?
My ceiling hopefully wont cave in in the meantime.
There's a spider living in the lightshade so I hope to capture it daily.within a pinhole camera. My vision is that the image created will be an alternative inversion to reality. Is it a ceiling? Is it a floor? Oh it is sheer delight to be free from the constrains of brushes and canvas and paint!! No skills required. And even though my bullshitometer is in need of a battery I'm sure I'll make the deadline.
Let's hope Incy Wincy does too.

The flaunting of wilful ignorance gets tiresome after a while.
Critiques are usually stronger when the subject under scrutiny is understood.
But nevermind, you just carry on.

I realise you have to play along with it in order to validate your own sheep shit 'art' but I choose not to be drawn into a world of bullshit, where people look down their nose at anyone who doesn't 'get' puke and dog shit = art.
But never mind... you carry on

I look down on people who celebrate ignorance.
There's plenty wrong with the art world.
More than I suspect you realise.
But as long you can't be arsed to even try and understand it, the easier for them to carry on.
Focus on the shit and the puke, it's easier than addressing the manufacturing of tastes, the engineering of culture etc etc
C'mon. You're being totally played here.
As for me. I don't play along with it. I've little to do with the art world anymore. But at least I understand why.
