Art is pointless without passion.
You have to go out and create art.
Get an actual job doing what you love
and make a living by being yourself.
You can't just let other people define
the rest of your life and say you will
be a joke, a failure. Follow your heart.

Thank you for correctly accounting for the clever way the text is painted on two surfaces, using Text As Art to present two different viewpoints in defense of the value of art. If you read it as just words, just like on any poster, then you miss the point of this art. What would bring out the depth of thought behind this art? Treating it not just as text, but as art!
Very clever.

@potungthul @[email protected] art can be appreciated in many ways. 🙏
Just wanted to provide an alternative ALT text.
The artist is very clever indeed.

Thanks for supporting alt text. I'm not sure your version with spaces works on screen readers, though. I tried out my own brilliant idea of using ALL CAPS; I put:
ART IS POINTLESS without passion
but a blind user I asked said that he couldn't tell that the first three words were in ALL CAPS. We finally worked out that I should use punctuation:
Art is pointless (without passion).
Waiting for feedback from another blind user, and then I'll post a punctuated version of #AltText.
