| Spankey said: imo to call something art, first you have to define art. that's pretty tricky deciding whether something needs recognition for one or another of its aspects as notable is a much easier task. imo |
i like Scott McClouds definition:
"Art is any human activity which doesn't grow out of either of our species' two basic instincts: survival and reproduction!"
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
