Spain is just paying tribute to its 20th-century avant-garde heritage, i.e. Picasso and Dali.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 18 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

There's simply too many things to restore. They are building metro in my town now. They started working on a new line, digging under first street and boom, Roman graveyard. Had to examine and remove 500 graves before they could continue. It's like that all the time. So yeah, sometimes people don't wait for specialists or permits and fuck things up. It's not that often and it happens to some less important works. It's only in the news because it's funny.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

One starts to get the impression that they should just have the archeologists dig the tunnel in the first place, and budget the project like one big find.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 17 hours ago

Yeah there's too much stuff to restore.

Every time anyone wants to do anything new in my city, there's a choir of old people moaning about the removal of old stuff.

Seriously.. if they want to keep that shit, put it in a museum. We don't need your old railways in the center of the city for memorials. We don't use them. You don't use them. They haven't been used for 70 years. The same kind of shit is present in each and every city throughout Europe. It has no preservation value. We can remember your great grand uncle's achievement in other ways. Take a photo and look at it as fondly as much as you want.

It's apparently wildly surprising that humans were all over Europe thousands of years ago. Come on. They had feet, of course they shat in the shrubbery where we live. We do not have to preserve all of it.

I surely don't hope future generations dig out the shit I've posted online.

When they invented LIDAR scanning and flew over Germany, they found a lot of old stuff in the dense forests that had never even been investigated. It was silently decided not to even attempt to dig all that shit out. Good call Germany. We don't need any more stone axeheads in the museum. They're not that different, and I don't care if you can trace your lineage to the man who made it. We're not keeping that rock.

People should have a right to be forgotten.

Ötzi never asked to be dug up. People made stories about how he died of cold. Other people say it was sacrificial. The latest I've read was that he a tumor in the ass.

Have some decency. Leave that shit alone. The wearing of time is prettier than restoration anyway. It's a solid reminder. Restoration of artifacts is like botox to a 70 years old.. you're gonna look like shit either way.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

hold on i've got a clay mask i made in middle school that looks JUST LIKE THAT

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 11 points 23 hours ago

That can’t be accidental? Someone has a shitty humour.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

I'm starting to think you don't take art to Spain to be restored....

[–] captcha_incorrect@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago

Picture from OP's meme can be found here (via article in OP's link): https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2020/11/11/the-potato-head-of-palencia-defaced-spanish-statue-latest-victim-of-botched-restoration

It lookes like they ruined more than just the face. All the decorations to the right of the face looks different as well.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 81 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point some of these "accidental" restorations have to be on purpose.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Never attribute malice to that which is easily explained by incompetence.

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Hanlon, huh? There are times when i find this razor hard to apply. Especially when thinking of the government.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 11 hours ago

Only intentional malice could explain systemic corruption.

No law maker just coincidentally aligns their values with lobbyists after receiving six digit election campaign donations.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 35 points 1 day ago

I thought the lady with that gift had already died.

How do you fuck up so badly?

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 11 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I kinda wonder if it's panic at some point. Like they make a fuck up and then start going "maybe this will fix it, maybe this will fix it" and it's just getting progressively worse but they can't stop themselves.

I see this with my kids sometimes, without the panic, they see that they've messed up a line when painting and they try to fix it but they do the same thing just slightly over, rinse repeat until a 7mm line is now 30mm thick.

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 2 points 15 hours ago

Ah, the Mr Bean approach.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Me when I make the eyeliner on one eye too thick...

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 22 hours ago

Too cheap to hire the expert.

Oh my God it's the second coming of Ecce Homo

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago

Mysterious ways, alright

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 23 hours ago

Ecchi homo sounds like the name of a yaoi series...

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Reminds me of

this Trump picture

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You dirty rat. You put that under the spoiler tag to sucker me into looking at that unholy thing.

I should not have clicked. It could have been something nice like tubgirl or goatse.

[–] Spur4383@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

I always upvote a person of culture and taste.

[–] Boxscape@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 day ago

Looks like that cantina guy in A New Hope who threatens Obi-Wan.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 21 points 1 day ago

Troma going all out to promote the Toxic Avenger movie.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Damn, the after looks like a face after reconstructive surgery from being mauled by an animal.

[–] sik0fewl@piefed.ca 11 points 1 day ago

Spain is on a roll.

Better than I could’ve done..

Jim Carrey vibes

[–] J3N5T4R@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Like directors cuts and remakes art "restoration" should be banned.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 22 hours ago

I ALWAYS choose the Director's Cut. That's the Director's real vision, before the studio fucks with it for profit reasons.
