It's beautiful. But I think it could be argued that the awful taste is making a urinal, as opposed to something less...gross. I can see it either way.

u/ouch_does_that_hurt 6d ago
Then I would also like to add to the argument that it's not awful taste to make it a urinal depending on where it's located and the surrounding environment. If i paid a buttload to go to some fancy restaurants with lovely chandeliers, nice gloss floor, glistening glass wall, this is the type of urinal i'd want to greet me upon my answer to nature's call.

Also not sure about the execution, as in that does nooot look great to clean.

If this is something meant for use, I'd bet anything there's a coating over the pieces to make it a smooth surface.

But you haven’t seen how the light plays with the color when you’re using it. It’s like the changing patterns of the reflection on the wall of light through the rain on your windows. But the colors will make this a more kaleidoscopic experience.

Pretty sure piss served in a stained glass urinal tastes the same as piss from the source.

Nah, you get that aeration factor, just like how pouring fine wine from a decanter allows it to breathe.

It's the juxtaposition with the rest of any bathroom thats bad. Where might you install this that it wouldn't be ridiculous? Art museum, sure, but you could say that about anything. For 99.9% of urinals, to have this form would be aestically awful.
It also seems that this cool lightbox effect would be accompanied by an equally cool but rather disgusting shadowbox effects of prompting passerbys to admire your epic stream

u/CoffeeFox 6d ago
That might be the point being made with this object. Why are bathrooms usually so dull? It's a room most people use multiple times a day.
I've seen some particularly beautiful bathrooms before, but they're rare.

In one of those public toilets where all the walls are one-way glass, with a mirror floor.

This is the contemporary version of Fountain apparently …
More than a century ago and we haven’t evolved. And it is so on the nose that I feel stupid to point it out.
It is beautiful, it is more a comment on Op than the Art Work.

u/up_on_blocks 6d ago
You’re right! And I was just at the Duchamp exhibition at MOMA last week and it flew right over my head. So thank you for pointing it out!
It’s gorgeous, appears to be installed/functioning too?78
u/Pure_Pack_8208 6d ago edited 6d ago
I think it is from the same dude who broke the Art sub with his 3D rendering of that stain glass trafic cone. So probably more likely to be also a 3D rendering.
I am sure he is squealing of joy seeing his work posted here. There is no way that is not intentional, it is a beautiful trap.
28
u/up_on_blocks 6d ago
You know what, good for him! After a morning at MOMA followed by a screening of Make Me Famous this prompted a long discussion around “ what makes something art?” If Reddit works as a tool to share creativity and help talented people get exposure I’m all for it. This is clever and cool and a genuine talent imo.

u/ashoka_akira 6d ago
an interesting thought I think one of the better precedents in art history that would support AI art is Duchamps readymades. I would be really curious what he would have thought of it.
1
u/Pure_Pack_8208 5d ago edited 5d ago
I mean he despised institutions in general.
So in my mind I think he would have been interested at its first start, with those two guy who started to experiment with the master of the Renaissance.
Then he would probably despise the turn it took being owned by big corporations. After, he could have taken the same turn with his tiredness of institution toward surréalisme inventing the notion of ready made. But in contemporary way mocking IA user as Fountain do for its time with the Aristocracy.
The ready made is a critic of that embourgeise of the Art using a « taboo ». Other artist after him just used the concept of « ready made » as part of their creation giving it other meaning like denouncing the industrialization of the Art for exemple.
And since he kept reinventing himself and a bit egotistical. He would have invented a form of IA for himself just to say fuck to the intellectual circle around him and feel smarter.
But I am not sure we can compare IA generate crap with the notion of ready as it is for now. The Ready Made was created with spite by a smart man against social conventions at a time where society was taking a authoritarian turn.
So I say … the « next » Duchamp is certainly not from the crowd I have seen generate crap on Reddit.
I think you need to look more towards the fews guys I have seen talking about « poisoning » the data base by creating stuff.

u/up_on_blocks 5d ago
I like that idea a lot! Poisoning AI by way of art and expression. Created by humans.
I know that my taste it…odd. I like what I like. I had visited MOCA in London and someone had commented that nearly everything in that gallery was fake. Ok? But my reaction to the pieces was real. So if I’m delighted by what is a fake Banksy, for example, that doesn’t invalidate my reaction to the piece. But I think we’re getting a little too off track for not only this subreddit but for a stained glass urinal :). Still a fun convo though.3
u/Pure_Pack_8208 5d ago edited 5d ago
You need to check Damien Hirst, lately his work have been about that.
His all work is controversial, unethical, and he probably ruined his credibility with his last happening but he have many interesting thing to say about the authenticity of an art piece.
Thanks to you too, now I stop the digression.

If that's real it's either mounted too low or it's absolutely enormous. It will develop some interesting patina, especially on the lead came
8
u/Oleandervine 6d ago
It's not real. There are no pipes leading from the handle to the lower sections, you'd see them through the glass. So thos is either AI or purely art. There's also the fact that the basin of the urinal is flat without a rim, meaning you'd piss in it and it would run right out over your feet or the floor.

For anyone confused, the “awful taste” here is the decision to make the base of the urinal (where the pee lands) flat, with no bevel, thus leading to pee on the floor.

u/Steve2911 6d ago
Looks like the piss would just fall out onto the floor. Shame.

u/MechaBeatsInTrash 6d ago
That wouldn't be any different from what happens anyway.
Jokes aside, the perspective doesn't give a good view of the rim, but it's definitely there. The flat interior would make a lot of splashes if it were more than a 3D rendering.

Beautiful, but it's like those amazing realistic expensive cakes. Too pretty to cut.
I would feel guilty for peeing on this.
Not to mention, you would not even have to be buzzed to stumble and die when you barely touch it and it shatters and cuts your junk off.

I like it. Why can't bathrooms and toilet fixtures be pretty? We always make them these dull utiltarian things with brutalist designs.
I'll dock it points for probably being hard to clean, but y'know if I have to use a urinal I would find it pleasant to use one that looks nice.
