Lars Holdhus “We Should Still Move On” - Art? Social Commentary on Internet Porn? Or Just Good Old Insanity?

I’m all for conceptual art, but I spent a good hour or so scratching my head wondering what this video by artist Lars Holdhus, called “We Should Still Move On” is supposed to be about. It features a fully dressed guy (CFNM is popular ain’t it?) abysmally dancing and singing to Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” while there’s a naked girl on the bed behind him masturbating. This was a WTF moment all the F-ing way.

It took this blog to let me in on the idea that this guy is doing a mash-up of the two supposedly most common things found on youtube and other video sharing sites, or whatever: people singing badly and acting like idiots, and ads/teasers for porn. OK, I get it now. But I have to say, while some will find either humor and or insight from this postmodern mashup piece on the internet age, I’m still far from understanding the point of this as it is ultimately unsatisfying and extremely idiotic, though I suppose if it merited a write up, there must SOMETHING in it? Maybe? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
