in reality its just stuff. it's not even weird, it's a stuffty attempt at being weird and it doesn't deserve any form of attention at all

have to agree with this
reading the site's description, i think it's literally just taking two different randomly generated arrays that hold gifs from tumblr and putting one over the other
there's not much different with this in comparison to opening two image board websites and hitting the random button on both

implying this was art to begin with

It's a bunch of random gif pages (I know it's random because it has the CS:S hands viewmodel and a model of doge in it, plus a bunch of unrelated flags and windows xp stuff)
and the background is some Windows XP song remix which is probably stolen off the internet.

^ all this
i'm pretty sick of the whole "haha memes are art XDXD a e s t h e t i c" stuff
although phantos i disagree with you about the library of babel. the point of that isn't to be "art" or "pretentious," it's to demonstrate how anything can be found in random noise and i think it's really cool.

haha wow you guys are a awful crowd
Gock.:
haha epic art if u dont appreciate it forget u man

it's not random though
it completely breaks the point of randomness by being completely deterministic
if it was random, i might be inclined to agree, but it's actually so entirely non-random that you can quickly and without any work find out where in the "library" a given piece of text is, no matter how long (Despite the limit imposed by the website itself). If it was anywhere near random you'd never be able to do that.
Sure it seems random, but it's not even remotely so. Literally a website to find your birthday in the actually random digits of pi is a million times better than that website or any clone thereof
