Not that I believe the picture to be anything more than attention-whoring, myself, but calling it "not art" is nothing more than a declaration of a lack of understanding of what art is. (No offense.) For instance: I can't stand a lot of modern art. I find much of it to be minimalist, pretentious, and lacking any real skill in its application (not to mention, just plain ugly, most of the time). However, it is still art. |

I still do not see how the photo linked to can be considered art. Therefore, it is my personal opinion, that it is not art. I think everyone has a right to decide for themselves what is art and what isn't. Painting a huge red square on canvas is NOT art, and I don't give a shit who says otherwise. |

If you can convince someone " to spend as much money as possible on a huge red square then it is indeed art. There is an art to making someone see something they know isn't really there. |

No dear, everything's fine. The troops are having a blast. |

If you define art so that it includes stuff like this, it's art. |

If you define dolphins as elephants then dolphins are elephants. |

Good, please don't make it in future. |

Isn't this the same guy who was complaining that art today is too pretentious? Yeah, way to break the cycle, pal. |

I feel awkward just jumping into the conversation like this, but oh well. Good "art" is supposed to be inspired and be creative. Therefore taking a photo of yourself by holding a camera out in front of you does NOT qualify as true art. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

Have questions about lucid dreaming? DM me.
hold up. on just what authority do we base our decisions? I really despise all that postmodern, "the truth is what you make it" bullcrap. I think it's reckless and counter-productive. if we allow a thing to be anything anyone claims it to be, as tommo succinctly illustrated, then we rob its term of meaning. if everything is art, then nothing is. but apparently there is such a thing as "art," otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion. the lines therefore must be drawn somewhere. |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
Congratulations. You now understand the concept of "art." (And I mean that in sincerity, not sarcasm. |

Ok perhaps I need to be more clear about the problem I have with the goddamn red square. |

Now we're getting somewhere. Heh. |

An art the practice of composing or capturing something while being inspired by creativity. Therefore art is anything and everything inspired by creativity. Anyone can define what art is, but that's it's true meaning. For example, writing is an art, the story is the art. Inventing is an art, the invention is the art, et cetera. |
