Someone please write an article about how these click bait robo dogs at the Neue Nationalgalerie are so symptomatic for a current Berlin, which is not just not cool any more but actually actively destroying itself. They are a perfect symbol for a 3 years cdu/spd failed government crushing on purpose the local political art scene with budget cuts while frauding millions into cdu friends projects ignoring all Vergaberichtlinien. Did you know our financial senator is also our new cultural senator since yesterday? Not a joke.
They are a symptom of German culture in chokehold of a extremeright neoliberal cultural minister openly threatening institutions or meddling in prize jurys. There is a huge German elephant in the room. Or maybe better robo dogs with the emperor has no clothes in the room. But galleries and magazines playing along smiling like the orchestra on the sinking titanic, some trying to get off the boat (stoschek) but it’s too late, damage is done. Museum directors addicted to likes and visitor count presenting killchain robodog art german Neuland AI while the German government voted for a lex Palantir yesterday. Next step Bundestag. No more Nan Goldin shows or alike. (calling the minister if that genoc1de protest slide by her was approved must have been uncomfortable I assume).
Please also write about how Germans do not understand how their international reputation is completely destroyed over international 1aw violating unconditional support for 1srael. How everyone in the world now understands that Germany was never progressive in any way but the fallen facade reveals a in large parts raciste far right society with Nazihintergrund. Merz is the best symbol for that. And our mayor Wegner has no problem applying for Olympia in Berlin for 2036 and by 2039 Germany intends to have the biggest army of Europe again. (Not a joke).

Good article, re attention trap art ⬆️
„Art as a carnival: how rich tech bros influence the art world with their preference for easy spectacle.
‚Efteling Art‘ More and more major museums are incorporating lazy design artworks into their programming—art that exists by the grace of effects, mirrors, light, and technology (AI, of course) and that revolves solely around oh and ah and wow and spectacle. In doing so, they are selling their soul to the devil.“

I was mildly amused by the robo dogs until I saw that it's f*cking Beeple's work. Down the drain with it, quickly!
