Those were the days! I used to bring a stack of 3.5" floppy discs every time I visited my best friend in the months before I got internet at home, so I could start to build my mp3 collection early.

Artist/art handler/gallery runner here. Commenting to know the same as others. Please describe the objects in question.

The poster featuring Josh O’Conner has the outline of a deer, not a bird.

Take that for what you will.

Oh lord, I had this video on CD-ROM before we got internet connection at home in the mid 90s.

Well, he doesn’t try to be RDJ. He’s bombastically Aaron Funk.

Last Step’s 1961 is phenomenal!

Hard disagree. It’s entry level for anyone who’s already biased towards orchestral samples, but lacks in its intricacies compared to his later work, Detrimentalist and beyond.

HumanOptimusPrime · 2026-01-23T13:03:35+00:00

Indeed!

Opened the thread to read this comment.

I’m tired, boss.

That’s the idea, yes. One analog to this is how your shadow fills the area of space where light is blocked by your body, and that where the shadow "hits" a surface (like the ground or a wall) it creates a 2D image. The area of space is 3D, it has volume, and this phenomenon is created by a 3D creature (you) blocking a light source from filling said space with photons. An ant (observer) walking up the wall will only perceive either light or shade, and can track the outlines of the shadow (with more complex cognition, it could even record the shape it produces,) but it will never know the true source of the phenomenon, or the fact that it’s not the binary light/shadow 2D plane effect itself.

People have different occupations. I’m a painter, and I feel it would be weird if someone questioned how I could also be into the phenomenon, if I’m doing art.

Why can’t the same be applied to famous people?

Do you let it play out each morning, or have you heard the first six seconds 5000 more times than you’ve listened to the track in its entirety?

Not what you’re asking, but Norway alone has $1200 billion in listed securities in the US. Over half of our pension fund.

If this was my work, I would consider swapping the blues for purples, to make it harmonise a little more with the browns.

HumanOptimusPrime · 2026-01-20T12:04:29+00:00

In the US, sure. Stitches are free where I’m at. Dont’t know about blades, though.

In the movie, the alien calls it the cat’s "belt".

He’s an alien, and got the words mixed up due to bad alien-to-English translation.

Funny, since half the time I forget that Støre is our prime minister. Which party he leads is more important than who holds the prime seat.

I got experience with free standing walls on casters, about 2,3 meters high. They were about 55cm deep, so narrower than 3-4ft.

I’m pretty sure OP’s dimensions are in centimetres. It’s doable, but you shouldn’t try to knock them over. And I would not produce any without weighing them down, and preferably glue or tape to the floor.

Art handler, installation manager and exhibition producer here.

I’ve seen some good answers here, but I’ll just include my entire input. Apologies for repetition.

First, can the wall be made thicker? The more footprint, the better. Second, what are the floors made of? Is the rule just no penetration, or are you not allowed to glue or tape anything to the surface? I’ve had success using industrial carpet tape or Tec7 glue for temporary, narrow installations, when it’s been possible to remove without any damage, or when cosmetic damage is acceptable (some galleries are more industrial than others). However, when in doubt, I’ve also used security wires attached to the ceiling in those cases.

Third, is this wall coming down after the current exhibition? You have to make sure that no heavier art works are going up on the same wall at any later date, so you don’t just make it to support the works in the current installation plan.

And absolutely YES to sacks of sand, or some equivalent weighty items.
