Two Minute Googles: Hyperrealism

frances and syd have a mid-career crisis

It's the first episode of Season 2! Over the break, we had a chance to reflect. That reflection showed a couple of withered husks who no longer qualify for emerging artist grants. We have been forced to admit that, after 4 years, the window of acceptability for sucking at our university's shapely tit is now closed. That we are now just a couple of dudes in their 30s who keep hanging around their old high school to relive the glory days. That the drum of time continues to beat out its relentless tune, as we shuffle closer and closer to the grave. But anyway how have you been? This episode's Two Minute Google is a discussion on fan art, wherein Syd is exposed as a Twilight fanatic.

Two Minute Googles: Hyperrealism

We would like to formally apologise to hyperrealism. For many years we were like "JuSt TaKe A pHoTo MaTe!", but then we googled it for two minutes and realised that there is more to it than just being technically impressive. Content warning for this episode, Sydelle uses the phrase "bussin".

Two Minute Googles: Sublime!

This episode of Barely Emerging we give the word "Sublime" a quick Google and talk about what we found. Mainly, a lot of seascapes and long-dead artists with too many names. But also, we uncovered a rich catalogue of artists from throughout history who have sought to give face to their feelings of awe and inadequacy when confronted with the stupendousness of the natural world. Who have attempted to capture on canvas the feeling of overwhelm and wonderment that comes from pondering ones place in the vast and unknowable universe, and realising that they are but one diminutive cog in a machine that can, and will, survive long after they have ceased to be a part of it. Or, who have sought to understand and share the breathless love and quiet terror of existing under the weight of heaven. You know, fun little things like that.
