            It's true. I studied at Art Academy and still regularly go out to see exhibitions. But I realized that I don't want to live in poverty or depend on grants or networking with coked up buttholes, I'm not noisy enough to have to generate attention all the time so I unironically learned to code and moved on. Most contemporary art is bland junk but art has always been a reflection of the times so go figure. anyway I can confirm, loads of homos there.
