Pimp My Minimalist, 2007 (ongoing)

Pimp My Minimalist, 2007 (ongoing)
NetArt


A question was proposed to a Facebook community: "Why there always be a bro so offended by minimalist art that he rejects the lesson behind it?"

a.) Because bros are used to looking at beer labels which reject minimalism and are packed with directed imagery and typography

b.) Maybe it's because they come to class stoned and eat smelly potato chips loudly and need validation for this minimal lifestyle

c.) Bros like everything pimp.


So began the movement to "update" and "improve" great mininimalist art for the current generation that likes thigns fast, accessible and glittery. 'Pimp My Minimalist' is a collaborative project using the Blingee.com website as its exclusive tool to add computerized glitter to minimalism in the form of animated .GIFs

The archive of Bling-Minimalism has been moved from Facebook to Tumblr in the always fleeting flight of most popular forum for internet discourse.
