The very point of "Like Art" is to confront the question of whether this constitutes, like, art... or not? The Facebook page that conveys "Like Art" contains no posted images or status updates, other than its creation event and the following statement of purpose: "The sole purpose of this Facebook page is to convey an artwork consisting of the set of users that 'like' it."
Deceptively simplistic, this almost 'non-page' belies its true complexity in terms of the artistic issues being explored. The boundary of what constitutes art first moved from the representational towards abstraction, then towards conceptual art defined by artistic intent as opposed to the hand of the artist, and finally from having a pure author towards involving the receiver with relational aesthetics. "Like Art" constitutes a limit case of this progression: the artwork consists merely of a collective expression of intent, in the form of 'likes' to a Facebook page, where those 'likes' serve no purpose at all other than to create the artwork in question. "Like Art" is therefore a non-object-based, conceptual artwork whose process of creation is a) perpetual and b) involves the participation of its receivers, drawing upon notions of relational aesthetics and actor-network theory. Furthermore, "Like Art" probes the new modes of social media interaction that have literally transformed society in very recent times but, for the most part, have not yet been profoundly reflected in art.
Like Art was inspired by the following artists and their work: John Baldessari (particularly "I Am Making Art", 1971; "I Will Not Make Any More Boring Art", 1971; "A Painting That Is Its Own Documentation", 1968; and "Pure Beauty", 1968); Tino Sehgal (particularly "This Is Good", 2001 and "This objective of that object", 2004); and Lawrence Weiner (particularly "Declaration of Intent", 1968).
I have an intense admiration for Marina Abramović and have been trying to find performance/conceptual art exhibitions in the Philly area. I want to EXPERIENCE pieces within this category but i can’t find an opening to properly explore it!!

Hello everyone,
I have been thinking about the question of the screenshot and the nft. I had the idea to create a series of three still images that are not screenshotable because of their resolution. These images are 12000 pixels by 12000 pixels and are made of a primary RGB color. The color of some isolated pixels are changed, but this is invisible to the naked eye and you can't take a screenshot of the image, so only the owner of the nft can see the image as it is.
It's an nft that is self-sufficient, the image is not important, only the concept of the nft is important. The image is impossible to reproduce by its nature.
If you are interested in this idea, I refer you to my Treasureland page where this first series of conceptual nft is available. Search for RGB.nft on Treasureland.
It's dead
Hey y'all! I'm a female university student studying design :)
Right now I'm making a zine about my love of soft serve. It will explore gender binaries and who creates erotica to serve who, which is why I want to photograph primarily men eating it.
Hopefully, I'm not breaking any r/conceptualart rules by asking community members here who are interested in being a part of the zine to send me photos of themselves eating soft serve. I would love to send a digital pdf or even mail a copy of the final zine to show my gratitude.
It will only be an edition of 30 zines, so there is nothing to be shy about!
xoxo
