An artistic movement that started in the UK in the 1950s that represents familiar pop culture iconography, especially brand related, in a medium of ‘high art’ like painting or sculpture. Playing with the idea of what ‘art’ truly is. A marble statue of a Dalek or a portrait of a bottle of Coca-cola would both be considered works of ‘pop art’.

Get the pop artmug. Person A: *Is about to throw a bicycle wheel that got glue spilled over it into the dumpster*
Person B: Nooooo! Don't do that. It looks like a piece of art!
Person A: How the frick is this a piece of art? I didn't even put effort into it. I just spilled the glue accidentally.
Person B: I think it says something deep about how civilization pretends to spin around and look novel but it really has glue in its tracks and never really goes anywhere
Person A: Wauw, that is actually pretty deep. I should sell it to a rich art collector for $600.000. Don't you think?
Person B: Yeah, totally... No, I'm just kidding. It's worthless because you're not famous.
Person A: Fuck, I hate the art world... Also, what kinda absurd prank was that even?
Person B: It's my own work of performance art. It's called "(UNTITLED)" and you're on national television, buddy.
Person A: Please end my miserable existence already

Get the Artmug. “Art” made by combining stolen images to make an image. The worst usage of Artificial Intelligence, where in an ideal scenario, AI would do things that are menial, repetitive, dangerous, while humans pursue more fulfilling careers like arts, sports, acting etc.
Not to be confused with something that is procedurally generated like a Minecraft world.
An excuse for billion dollar companies to lay off artists and actors (looking at you Activision).
AI bros, the ones defending this, really are just plainly jerks. They use tons of logical fallacies, rely on technicalities (like big companies trying to say “nuh huh” to the law), project themselves onto others and have a persecution complex, remind you, for stealing stuff, when they have (like everyone) the right equipment to do art (pencil, paper, hell even your mouse). It’s only at the detriment of artists. Big companies (the ones owning the AI) or small will use it. Just to cut costs. Apathy is the main issue. It’s easy to do nothing, everyone is guilty of that and it’s time we change that. (Also see “Philistine”)
PS: If you spend that much time on one “piece” why can’t you actually do it yourself?

AI Bro: Hey look at this AI Art I made.
Person B: Why can’t you do it yourself or commission an artist?
AI Bro: Well not everyone has the money for expensive drawing tablets. I just don’t have time.
Person B: You don’t need a drawing tablet to do art and you said this took you 60 hours.
AI Bro: Stop acting like a douche!
Person B: No need to steal from artists.
AI bro: Well technically, artists “copy” from other pieces of arts to do theirs.
Person B: You’re mistaking inspiration for plagiarism. While yes plagiarism has always existed, doesn’t make it any less ok, Generative AI will only make it worse.
AI bro: Well why can’t it just be a hobby?
Person B: Artists don’t have other industries to go to, usually with technological advancements people adapt and use their skills with it. But with AI, people will be laid off. For those where it is a hobby, I doubt they’d like to have their stuff stolen to make a profit, without compensation or consent. Artists, even before AI have constantly been screwed over, don’t blame them for that, blame those who do it.
AI Bro: Well like it or not it’s here to stay!
Person B: You can not do that and learn actual art if you were that into it.
AI Bro: Give me a break we constantly get death threats and you just constantly cope. I hope you loose your job.
Person B: I condemn threats, but that shouldn’t be a reason to dismiss what I’ve said because of some bad apples (nutpicking fallacy).
AI Bro: Well actually…

Get the Pulling an Artmug. A cognitive-
phenomenological state where art serves as a stabilizing force against the brain's constant predictive modeling, creating a reality that transcends mere perceptual guesses.
This occurs through neural synchrony between the artwork and the observer, leading to a flow state in which perception and reality momentarily align without the interference of unconscious predictive distortions.
This term encapsulates the idea that while our brains normally operate on predictive coding-leading to a reality built on probabilistic guesses-art creates a space where experience is direct, immersive, and unmediated by the brain's
anticipatory errors. Through neurolinking, art and audience enter a shared state of synchrony, forming a temporary "true" reality that isn't just Other predictive hallucinstion

"In the year 2147, elite curators of the Intergalactic Archive relied on Neuropredictive Art Synchrony (NAS) to decode alien murals—translating neural echoes into visual patterns only perceivable through synchronized consciousness."
