@benroyce @salixsericea I’m just glad he didn’t outfit the thing with a leaf blower.

@Guillotine_Jones @fruchti

i agree

he has been working in obscurity for 2 years on this

so we can say it's not manufactured and fake provocation, this is the dude's real deal

i would also entertain the notion he is completely authentic: he is not trying to get a reaction from us, that he sincerely believes he is delivering an honest product

so it's tongue-in-cheek art project or sincere work of a bizarre dude. but we both agree it's not fake bizarreness for the sake of media drama

@AubreyDeLosDestinos @benroyce You can sit on it and hold its horns like you're riding a motorcycle.

@ElBeeToots @AubreyDeLosDestinos

you try first, i'll watch

Or if not exactly hands, for they are certainly not hands in any form that a human would recognise as being hands, but they are still appendages that serve a similar function, for the strange creatures that control them.

@benroyce I saw it three days ago, and thought it was the most heavy metal prop like the gigantic spider in the entrance of Hellfest on France

[florapis@toot.wales]

@benroyce it has a sheeps head! Nope, I'd hide

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@benroyce @fruchti
I concur, Ben.
And even anti-dystopian art can be serious and tongue-in-cheek at the same time.

[oyu_fka@mastodon.social]

@VWDasher @benroyce No, it's perfectly safe...as long as you have a gun or knife to shoot/stab it - apparently that will stop it in it's tracks, lol!

@benroyce That's an enemy from Doom.
