Ixtapolapoquetl

No Maggie, not Aztec, Olmec. Ol-mec. Maggie is not well versed in Central American native cultures

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

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

THIS is the Mexico everybody loves!

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.

Legends of the Hidden Temple

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

[–] glowing_hans@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 118 points 3 days ago (1 children)

the dude looks more badass than his statue

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 3 days 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

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?"

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

For context, he did this a year ago.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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

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 2 days ago

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

Moments before crushing a tesla

My brain is so poisoned that all I heard when I saw this image was "Markus Wulfhart" army movement noise

Artist statement: “🖕🗿”

[–] ScrollerBall@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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!

Bestest use of a Tesla

[–] hikuro93@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nice. Symbolism on point. 👌

[–] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)
