Next question. |
Re: Is porn art?
Sorry bud. I've just woken up and I'm in a funny mood.
I doubt anyone watching porn is concentrating on how well it's directed or the camera angles. Unless it's Gonzo. Gonzo is all about camera angles. |

I'm curious what Sean and Daniel have to say about this. :p

It is if I'm starring in it.

I don't think any prurient medium can be honestly called art, unless Christina Hendricks is in it

Porn in art? Depends what you define as porn though.
Is Michelangelo's David porn? He's naked after all. I think nudity in art is ok... but the definitely of porn can be a blurred line if you're comparing nudity with pornography. |

After I started making movies of my own something really strange happened. I started to notice how bad the lighting is in porn. :eek:

Re: Is porn art?
Here's how I'd see the difference between nudity in art and porn.
Art: The "study" of the beauty of the human body. Tastefully, (sometimes not tastefully), presented for all to see, in all its glory. Porn: A series of images, pictures, photos or a movie... made solely for the sexual gratification of the audience. Designed specifically for erotic satisfaction. |

Re: Is porn art?
Yes. This argument is kind of tired.

Re: Is porn art?
To me, no. In the end porn is all about pointing a camera at 2 people (or more) having sex. I do agree that the line can be blurred a bit with an art film having graphic sex scenes in it, but as far as straight-up porn goes no I don't think it is art.

Re: Is porn art?
The music certainly is. ;)

Art. People take garbage, and can make it into art. If a renowned painter put to canvass people having sex, would we call it porn? If a renowned photographer took pictures of people having sex, would we call it porn? Chloe Sevigny gave James Gallo a blowjob in The Brown Bunny, and she still says it was art. Really?
Thing is, "Art" has no form, no definition that encompasses what it truly is. Never will be because there are people that would look at Art made from garbage and think "Thats garbage", and theyre right. Is it because they dont "see" the art in it, or was there really anything to see once you got past that the artwork was made from garbage? Plain truth is you can paint, photograph, film, etc.... people having sex and it be considered art. Yes sex in itself has volumes of more depth of thought or feelings put towards it than most things in life, so dont try and convince me theres no potential for Art there if sex is involved. The other plain truth is, and I dont exaggerate this in any way, but youd have an easier time finding a needle in a haystack than finding a porno considered by most as Art. Rightfully so as the porn industry makes shallow two dimensional crap. Not even that stupid Brown Bunny was art. Maybe one day things will evolve, but whats available today is not art. |
