− | This comic appears to be satirizing | + | This comic appears to be satirizing art in two different ways. From one perspective, the author Randall is describing various art forms in unusual ways (e.g. a portrait for the first character, a video for the second, and perhaps live action in the third). From another perspective, Randall might be making fun of modern art. A common colloquial definition of modern art is "something you could have created but did not create." In each case the art described would be useless. A picture of oneself "every hundred years" will only happen once; a "picture every 1/24th of a second" is the standard framerate for most small cameras for video, and "watching my face age in real time" is simply conducting a discussion, interview, or observation with, and of, someone. |
− | + | The final character, Danish, pokes fun at all of them by simply watching their attempts at "art" while she eats a burrito. Randall may also be referencing the many perspectives on art by leaving this comic open to several interpretations. The title text is just more snark, claiming that it's Danish's most ambitions project ever if the sole criterion for ambition is the amount of guacamole used. | |
