Depends. Are the aliens hot?
Are you into Ferengi? ;-)
I'm not, but for a few bars of gold-pressed latinum I could be.
No, lol I think the lemming saying we would try to nuke them is spot on but jokes aside most people wouldn't give a rats arse about these new aliens and only a very small minority would try to create art that appeals to their tastes- just to see if they can cater to their standards.
And sell it to them. Capitalism gonna capitalize
Hehehehe selling art is very hard already, you want to do so to a race of snobbish aliens? I mean 100% with you that's what they will attempt, but I have my doubts on profitability
Trumpists would label them illegal intellectual elitists and hate them.
What would an advanced alien race even consider fine art?
Six dimensional termite mounds?
Or they could see in a smaller range of frequencies, so what looks like a plain white room to us is a masterpiece of modern art to them?
Its already a master piece to humans if sold by the right ~~salesperson~~ artist.
"This here represents the canvas of the human imagination and how it has dulled over the years"
Based on our human history of snob thinking they're better and then enslave those they think are barbarian, yes, but not before they enslave most of us and then spare some.
EVERYONE that claims to appreciate only fine art is already pretending to be sophisticated.
Just send them all the alien movies where humans win, call them documentaries and watch them run.
No, we would instead make interspecies pornography of humans boning the aliens and further diminish our status in their eyes. Dommy mommies scoffing at the entire planet. It would be a diplomatic catastrophe.
I'd send them a picture of my arsehole.
Cunts.
This response.
Doubtful but I bet a lot of people would start saying paintings don’t really exist.
No, we'd nuke those fuckers.
No we’d start pretending we’re even less sophisticated.
Hey! I'm flying my space ship ova'ere!
Whose definition of fine art? This could be an amazing rebranding opportunity
Trump will tell them that he is the most sophisticated president ever, even when he loses and ends up in the psych ward.
Sounds like they're pretending to be sophisticated, too.
In my experience, the “entire planet” isn’t capable of uniting on anything.
The aliens would judge us for torturing and murdering the animals for selfish reasons.
So yeah most people would pretend to be vegan so that the aliens may talk to them.
