For me, if it's not hard to make, it isn't art. — RAW
↪Pop Why should it matter to anyone what art is? Personally, my hunch is that art is not the object itself but the culture around it. — Tom Storm
For sure, for me, every painting is that masterpiece - the one just beyond my reach, that takes everything out of me, that is the best I can do, at that particular time. And when it is finished, if it ever is, then I move onto the next similar such struggle. — Pop
I've shown you mine, lets see yours? :lol: — Pop
t matters a huge deal. When art is undefined it fragments into many things, such as what has happened in post modernism. When it was defined to some extent, during modernism, there was a vague central agreement as to what constituted good art. So art integrated somewhat around this understanding, and the best examples of this understanding, was good art. The owners of this understanding were artists and intellectuals, so progress in art was driven by the people central to it, and there was a largely united world vision of what constitutes good art.
Without this world wide central agreement art has fragmented into fiefdoms of art, where what constitutes good art is the domain of the most powerful, rather then the most knowledgeable, imo. — Pop
I would hate for there to be agreement as to what constitutes good art. Art is simply what people put on display and call art. Whether it is good or not only matters in certain shared contexts — Tom Storm

Pop I don't really see much here tbh — I like sushi
How does personal taste arise? What is subjectivity a function of? — Pop
No idea. Does anyone really know? — Tom Storm
That's your vision on art. What are the consciousnesses you are talking about? People? What about tribal art wrt to the gods? — Nosferatu
Pop You're failing to address what expressions of consciousness are not 'Art'. — I like sushi
1. Art is an ungrounded variable mental construct: Objects are arbitrarily deemed to be art. Art’s only necessary distinction from ordinary objects is the extra deemed art information. Art can be anything the artist thinks of, but this is limited by their consciousness. — Pop
These are elements of your consciousness - of your self organization. — Pop
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
