[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 69581, member: 544"] If I build a statue, put it on a rocket, and shoot it into the dead silence of space where only I know it exists, is that art? To your theory, it’s 'unintelligible noise' because there’s no shared transmission. But to me, the Art is the total package: the statue’s structure, my technical ability to hit escape velocity, and the act of hoarding that image away from the hoard/masses forever. You speak with a certainty I’ve never seen from an actual artist. It feels like a pretty story, a self aggrandizing dinner date where you’ve decided the rules for everyone else’s 'Unique' expression. Art isn't a science of predictive modeling or causal progression. Sometimes it’s just a banana taped to a wall to mock the specialized drones who think they can define value. It’s abrasive, it’s mocking, and it defies your structural coherence and that’s exactly why it works. In the end, 'Art' is just a sound we’ve all agreed to use for a feeling we hope is the same in each other’s minds. But life is physically unequal and mentally chaotic. Trying to pin it down with this much authority feels like trying to build a fortress out of mind garbage while the real ruins are burning outside. An old draft of mine, is this not art?
