If a piece of art takes longer to explain and justify than it did to create it, it isn't art.
- Tell that to a museum.bainbridge
- I wouldn't say that's the definition of not art. But art that isn't my liking.pango
- Yeah most great art takes longer to justify than it did to create.nb
- At Whitney Museum I once visited an exhibition which did not impress me at all. Until I walked through it with a guide. I became a fan.SimonFFM

It's all context. The moment anyone wonders if something is art, it becomes art.
The Balinese people carve beautiful masks, but have no word for art—because to them, everything already is. At least i read that somewhere.
- Ya that's what I thought too. Which just made my question sort of a troll questine... Lolpango
- But what is good art is another topic. People seem to confuse bad art with not art on this thread.pango
- As for that artist who uses other people's Instagram photo. Plagerism can be an art form too. People just condemn that kind of things.pango
- Fallacy. To them it has a use...whether ritual or religiousmarychain
- whats the point of making something of no use?yurimon
- Art son. It has no physical use. Boommarychain
- They infuse artistry into everything they do, so why differentiate what is and is not art?BrokenHD
- No one was talking about usability, but art can be useful. Think: custom car. Boom.BrokenHD

QUANTIFYING CREATIVITY IN ART NETWORKS
Ahmed Elgammal, and Babak SalehAbstract
Can we develop a computer algorithm that assesses the creativity of a painting given its context within art history? This paper proposes a novel computational framework for assessing the creativity of creative products, such as paintings, sculptures, poetry, etc. We use the most common definition of creativity, which emphasizes the originality of the product and its influential value. The proposed computational framework is based on constructing a network between creative products and using this network to infer about the originality and influence of its nodes. Through a series of transformations, we construct a Creativity Implication Network. We show that inference about creativity in this network reduces to a variant of network centrality problems which can be solved efficiently. We apply the proposed framework to the task of quantifying creativity of paintings (and sculptures). We experimented on two datasets with over 62K paintings to illustrate the behavior of the proposed framework. We also propose a methodology for quantitatively validating the results of the proposed algorithm, which we call the "time machine experiment".
