I'd say anything that is purely functional and without an attached emotion isn't art. Like a LAN cable is cleary not art.
But you could take said thing and give it a thoughtful design, expressing a particular statement, and you could argue that it is now art. The mac g4 cube for example was exhibited at MoMA.
- The act of showing it at exhibition made it art...

- a lan cable is an elegant solution to a problem, which could be considered artscarabin
- exactly, scarabin ... in fact, the art of product design and industrial design is strong with something like the form of a lan connectionmonospaced

- do you even smoke bro?yurimon
- Please explain how a Cat-5 cable is an elegant solution. It's just a regular-ass solution, imo.nb
- The little connector that goes into the port was hand-designed to work well. It's a regular solution, but it took an artist to make it work, IMO.monospaced

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
