Art is bunk.
What happened to those conservative values of something is worth what people are willing to pay in a free market?

I assumed you were into kabala (or however you spell it) by all the images you used to attach to your profile
My Definition of art is well established In philosophic and esoteric circles which are widely considered to be full of wisdom, insight and higher conciousness.
i truly pity those who lack such perception.

Didn't realize an old dude staring dissatisfied at a stripper's cooch was Kabbalah imagery.
Considering the definition of art is not one singular thing (I would think you would know this being so well familiar with the esoteric and philosophical circles) I think it's a bit ridiculous for you to insult me over a disagreement. Some art (or is it art?) exists for the pure reason that the definition of art is so hotly debated.
Personally intent has a lot to do with what I perceive as art. I'm fairly open to things being art, but I don't think creation is inherently an artistic endeavor.

No thats not at all what I'm saying.
Maybe to try and articulate I'll briefly continue with your example. To me the act of putting seeds in the ground isn't an art. The act of putting paint to a surface isn't art. The action isn't the art.
To a certain extent (I'm sure we can get into technique itself being an art, which isn't really what I'm trying to say).

A garden IS art, you just choose not to percieve it as such.
its a mundane way to iive and it limits potential.
try looking at life as if every single thing is art, and realize that you are a 24/7 artist creating art in whatever you do.
Then you realize that you have power to alter your art to a degree and a huge shift in your worldview, confidence, and self empowerment might occur.
this idea kind of underpins philosophy in general.

No, I think he would agree that a garden is art. He's saying that Zappa and I don't think a garden is art. At least that's what I think he means. I also think he's wrong, because I would very easily think a garden is art.

So if I take a dump and I think it is spiffy it is art?Quote:
and since you don't know what'll be art for someone, everything can then be considered a form of art, or at the very least artful; even if you don't think it's art; because if you like it, at all, it can conceived that someone could think that it's art.
Then you agree that the word has no meaning. Everything and anything is art. Why bother with the word?

he builds, and doesn't contribute to any art; becasue art doesn't exist, but existence of the word proves the existence of the concept, but only... NOT FOR HIM. even if he thinks his opinion of art not existing, applies to everyone else. he's being ludicrous.
Please tell me exactly what art is.
I will attempt.
Broadly speaking art is the changing of reality, more specifically it is the intentional changing of reality.
How does any act change reality?

Well this is a really fun conversation. You've really convinced me. Now I see.
For fucks sake I tried at least. You're just being an asshole.

I didn't say it wasn't worth what some shmuck would pay for it. I challenge the establishment of those values by some clique of effete custodians of taste. Which, sadly, so many of you seem to be willing to accept. Much of what is deemed art by these peckerheads doesn't even require skill or craft.

Acts change reality through cause and effect. A skilled artist can know what causes create what acts and utilize it.
