Were you? There are several art works that require audience participation or people hired to do some action, yet you wouldn't refer to them as the artists. Is the audience in a performance of 4.33 (that was brought up earlier) artists, or are they just played, like another instrument? |
I think that the distinction does't really matter, because the act of participating is itself a piece of art, the experience of being included is a piece of art, and the experience you get from observing the performance also establishes it as art.
