@seiya19:

I'm gonna keep this short.

Your analysis of SF2 is good, though it's definately not an example of good art.

Ok, was the game created through a particular skill or craft ? Yes, it was. Its game design, sprites, music, programming, etc require a certain amount of technical skill in order to be made. It's not something anyone is capable of doing.

You should be careful. Everything is created through a particular skill or craft, but not everything is art. IF you extend the definition this far, you'll wind up with aberrations, like plumbing being an art.

You're contradicting yourself here. If art only exists in the mind of humans, then it's interpretation can't be science as it depends on the perception of said minds. It would be a subjective matter as I'm arguing, unlike science which determines it's facts based on evidence which is verifiable outside subjective perception (let's try to avoid the eternal discussion of what's "real" here...).

Any interpretation depends on the perception of the human mind. This includes the interpretation of scientific facts, classification of certain things as facts, and even the scientific issues studied. What I was trying to say is that the ideea of art exists only in the minds of humans, the same way as mathematical problems exist only in the minds of humans.
