This activated a fragment of a thought that I haven't had in decades, wow. I'm not even sure I remember what this is from.

the dude looks more badass than his statue

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 11 months ago

He does. There's also a pic without him on his insta and I've gotta say it does lose a few badassery points

[–] truthfultemporarily@feddit.org 85 points 11 months ago

Wow Spelunky 3 graphics are great.

When you misjudge the Thwomp timing

I hope it made the noise when it happened.

The Olmecs or Olmec were an early known major Mesoamerican civilization, flourishing in the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco from roughly 1200 to 400 BCE during Mesoamerica's formative period.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Awesome, thank you, I'm not very familiar with ancient American history.

Is that Señor Xtapolapocetl?

It's an extravagant piece of art. A mad, unthinkable, utterly impossible piece of art! A frabulous, grabulous, zip-zoop-zabulous piece of art!

I bloody love this comment

His face says "it had it coming..".

[–] hikuro93@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nice. Symbolism on point. 👌

[–] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago

I love the fact that the car will continue to degrade, but the head will remain.

[–] Gxost@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Spelunky 2 is too hard even for Tesla

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

I usually don't like Avant-garde art, but this one speaks to me.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Now I wonder, though, did he buy a Tesla for this? Or did already have a Tesla and thought of a creative way to get rid of it?

What's going through my mind is a scene from Straight Outta Compton:

"They're burning all your CD's!" (referencing a large pile of burning CD's from their new album).

"Yeah, but they still bought them, didn't they?"

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Could not find the answer to that but I don't think so, given what he has to say about the installation. Also I don't see why he wouldn't get an already wrecked car for dirt cheap to do that.

"In the end this glorified object with all that technology is just that; it is just a product of a capitalist system when in reality what really matters is where we come from, what we are, and what we have been, generation after generation."

Edit : the car in the picture even shows clear signs of wreckage, e.g the hood with giant scratches all over even though it looks like the head wouldn't even have touched it

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

For context, he did this a year ago.

The Louvre should display the fine artwork. Just paint a fucking swastika on the Tesla.

Is that giant round stone face supposed to represent an ancient stoic warrior? 🗿 Now it does.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Now that's interesting!

[–] notsoshaihulud@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

now this is art!

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

[slaps forehead] Dammit, I could have just taped a banana onto it!

Nominative determinism strikes again!

[–] King3d@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

This dude seriously just killed Olmec from legends of the hidden temple?

[–] El_Azulito@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Love it. 💪

[–] Billybob22@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago
