What we learned:
(thanks to Coralie)
Rats laugh and they like to be tickled.
Dogs stop freaking out when they hear a recording of other dogs laughing.
Monkeys breath in when they laugh which is why they are unable to learn to talk.
Humans always laugh: ha ha ha or ho ho ho, never ha ho ha ho
Humour lives in the right frontal lobe
We also said that it is important to distinguish between laughter, humor and joy. These distinctions are to be worked on.
We’d like to explore why and how humour is often eradicated from Art and even more from Discourse on art or Art History. How humoristic strategies blur the line between “high” and “low” art, but also how art-world apparatus appropriates and absorbs “inappropriate” forms , very much at the image of the neo-liberal system.
