It's a word. Or a sound.
It's a label.That doesn't exist unless something else exists in which to define it.
Anything, everything or nothing can be 'art'.

it probably was done for the wrong reasons gorbie.
like i said. that guy is a complete dick. i'd like to punch him in the face, but still i think that it was a form of artistic expression.
it wouldve been a better statement if HE were in a huge blender though. and i am quite serious.
i think that that wouldve made a better statement and would have been a much more valid expression. and i am not being a smartass... even though it would be funnny if someone pushed the button. cuz you know he wouldnt leave the electricity on for that.

that was in one of the first episodes of 'Six Feet Under'..
a guy gets chopped to pieces when a giant industrial blender accidentally was turned on while he was in it to clean it...

Anti-matter is not art.
It's not anything.
In fact it is so much nothing, it eats everything.

sound is art; art isn't sound

Bluejam...
You say "...can be art". That's where I define it. It takes creation with passion.
Destruction is anti-passion, anti-creation, and anti-art.
- Bio0
someone can have a passion for destruction.
the bigger the explosion or the farther i can get the debris to fly, the more i am able to splatter my own blood on the concrete in front of me, the more i am able to express the anger in me...
so i think it is valid. maybe not healthy. but still a form of art. and not necessarily what i would call "high art".
oh, and sorry. i really dont mean to argue. just discussing. =)

Art can be kinda' weird. There are people that think the silhouettes, of those that died in Japan after the US bombed them, is art. Crazy right?
- Gorbie0
Oh god.... that is not art.
That is a horrible, grim reminder.
- JazX0
some people think it is, weird stuff going on.
- Bio0
all relative to the person i would say.
obviously art to me wouldnt necessarily be art to you, but once i again, i must say:
"im just a liberal fuck, so what the hell do i know?"
haha.

Liberal in Mississippi? Is that possible, hee, hee! ROck on!@
- Bio0
possible, but not advisable.
- Bio0

haha.

uhm i can't think of anything, guess that that means there isn't anything that is not artistic in any way (does this make any sense?)
- bolus0
wait i remember some teacher once told me: if someone makes something makes something and says it's art, it is. so i guess when he (or she ofcourse) says it's not, i gues it's not...

I agree that art doesn't have to be pleasant. It really is just being bumped into a different way of perceiving something...
.. but I just thought of something that may not be art:
plagiarism
- Gorbie0
I think part of the problem comes up when one starts arguing a point they don't even believe in.
Bending the meaning and changing the context.
I don't like semantics. I take things for their "isness"

plagiarism = sampling in uglier terms
sampling is art.
