Relentlessly sowing Bedfordshires

Here’s some project artistic code (for the artists only).

In 1917 Duchamp elevated an ordinary urinal to the status of a work of art. We are now restoring it’s dignity as real world object. We are giving back utility and function to it’s shape. We are freeing the fountain -

reversing it’s readymade destiny:

Dignity: From being an art object → To being a useful, real-world object.

Logic of the series: From One of many (exclusive) → To Many from one (infinite batch).

Authorship: From authorship by appropriation → To authorship by dilution (Including Duchamp's as just another node).

The Artistic Act: The act of curation is art → Following the rules (Craftsmanship) is art.

The Authority: From the Artist-Curator (a person) → To the Protocol (a system).

The Source of Meaning: From the Context of the Institution (the Gallery) → To the Context of the Executed Rule.

Follow the protocol! Free the fountain!

The constraints

Keep the following parameters as in the reference image below:

Aspect ratio 1:1

Position in the frame (left-right, top-bottom)

Camera position in relation to the subject (angle, focal length)

See the examples below

Reference image (use for prompt or final result validation)

Prompt Templates

I used the following templates. Using reference image seems to get more consistent results. Stick with it for a quick start. Play around with Experimental prompt, but make sure to fit into constraints above.

See the examples below

What YOU get

Co-promotion by fellow artists. We plan to gather 50+ artists and create first collection on Superrare. With so many outstanding artists making the collection featured should be a breeze.

Co-promotion by the meta-meme itself. After that we gonna keep on pushing the meme until it is strong and self-sustainable like Rick Roll, Doge, Loss and Always Has Been. You’ll be at the source.
