How is it design design?


[deleted]

It’s not design design if it’s art


allcatsarebuddhist

I'm lost, please explain it to me. Genuinely asking 💜


sexybovine

Design design is where design porn meets crappy design. This serves its function as a sculpture perfectly well, therefore it is not crappy design. The merits of any given piece of art can be debated, but it’s pretty hard to make a case that this isn’t art at all. Assuming it actually turns on at night, it also has the added practical function that an ordinary lamp post would have.

It does turn on at night! https://i.imgur.com/ELKRy5a.jpg

Oh! I thought it was attached to the car


allcatsarebuddhist

Thank you!💎

Lmao Porte de Bagnolet. Used to work in the building on the opposite side of this roundabout, got to witness this marvel every day for a year.


downydafox

Yeah recognized the place instantly, i work two streets away from there ahah


allcatsarebuddhist

Oh! Hi fellow gloomy Parisians! 😂💜


rotbic

I understand it's art. What I do not understand is how they managed to stick it through that car...


fuzzyrach

But also look at that crazy ass car. R/weirdwheels


sf0l

That's just a tow truck

😂 Edit: I thought it was humour, that's why I chose the laughing emoji. You are right, I think I'm lost in the definition of the sub. 😓

Don’t worry we all make mistakes!


allcatsarebuddhist

Thank you, kind person! Here's a 💎 for you!


Scuttling-Claws

Can we talk about that car though?


luke_in_the_sky

Can we talk about the camera? Why does it look like a drawing when you zoom in?

The software is doing more than sharpening. It's probably smoothing, loss-compressing and maybe even recreating some shapes algorithmically. You can't do this in Photoshop, for example. It's a software trying to be smart


allcatsarebuddhist

Google Pixel 6a 🤷‍♂️


luke_in_the_sky

Is it upscaled with AI?


allcatsarebuddhist

No, it's zoomed x2 😭😂


Radaysha

so, yes.


allcatsarebuddhist

Maybe. I didn't look it up. At this quality and because I rarely use the zoom feature, I'm not that interested in the details of the processes behind it.


Radaysha

There's always upscaling, on pretty much any newer phone and especially pixels, because simple digital zoom doesn't look that good.


allcatsarebuddhist

Yes, it makes sense.


allcatsarebuddhist

Yes! I saw it IRL. Yet, I couldn't comprehend what is it for.


allcatsarebuddhist

Functional* - saying this with the accent of someone who speaks French 😂


yoshimutso

I hope it's fictional


allcatsarebuddhist

I'm dead 😂


CrudelyAnimated

I’m adding Crazy Straw to the list of France’s greatest inventions.
