    By sidelining music and centre-staging twerking security guards Frank asks a bold question about what counts as ‘performance’. At a time where queer identity is under attack the crooner centres self-expression and celebrates joy as an act of resistance. And at a juncture where AI asks us to wonder what counts as creation, the brazen use of backing tracks and lip syncing brings to focus how technology can devalue the aura of an objet d’art as argued by Walter Benjamin in his seminal ’The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction’, updated for the age of automation of our current zeitgeist. 10/10”

    proof you can just write s*** and act like it made sense

    i mean the 2017 festival tour was also really messy for the most part except for FYF. this really shouldn't be unexpected

    Last night’s set made his 2017 tour look like Lady Gaga’s Chromatic Ball in terms of production and execution.

    Imagine signing up to headline a festival and being too mysterious to even do the bare minimum for the contract you signed. VERY SAD.

    Fraud Ocean strikes again? I’d like to say I’m shocked and disappointed, but unfortunately this is par for the course. Imagine being such a mysterious c*** that you screw thousands of fans that flew in from all around the world over just because you are “hyper creative” and everything has to be “perfect.” Very sad.

    The Weeknd would NEVER!

    he's truly cursed by his perfectionism

    When Frank Ocean merely played a FLAC of Nights instead of performing it, I was slightly confused.
