But is it art?
But is it art?
I love this game of Human Tetris so I thought I'd share it and there human space invaders and other games to enjoy too. Is it not imaginative, creative and engaging?
Re: But is it art?
Awesome! Yes it is art. Definitely more than 'a contestant's experience in Big Brother' is art. In case you don't know what I'm talking about there is a conceptual artist in the BB House at the moment who actually said something like this.
Generally I like conceptual art - one of my favourite events of the year is the Turner prize.

Re: But is it art?
This is art. There are several of these on YouTube - just search for "human art".

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:
1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Re: But is it art?
The human art, including the tetris game, is great.
But is this art?
To me, it looks like something that just happened rather than something that took creative imagination and effort to achieve.

Re: But is it art?
Well, that depends on how you define art and what you think its function is. One of the things that differentiates us from the rest of the animal kingdom is our ability to produce and be moved by art. It calms, it provokes, it disgusts, it inspires. In a nutshell, it makes us feel and it makes us think. And that's certainly what Tracey's bed does.Firebrand wrote:The human art, including the tetris game, is great.

Does creativity always imply deliberation in the sense of pre-planning? Can't something made by a human without aforethought engage the senses and provoke the emotions? Of course it can! A lot of what we create - both intentionally and unintentionally - provokes disgust or horror. Take war, for example. I don't imagine a squaddie beating the crap out of someone in a country he's been sent to would be nominated for an arts prize. A film documenting the incident could be though.
Who is the artist in such a case? The squaddie? The camera operator? The producer of the final documentary? The person whose idea it was to turn it was to make a documentary out of clips of film?
Tracey's bed told the story of what happened when she had a nervous breakdown. In this piece she is both the subject and the maker of the documentary.
This particular piece happens to be one of my favourites to use with students to demonstrate how the impact of art changes depending on context i.e. how differently one can feel about the same piece depending on where one sees it. Imagine entering this room by mistake when looking for the bathroom when you're a guest in someone's otherwise immaculate home. Imagine being shown round this house as a prospective buyer and seeing that every room is as bad as this. Imagine seeing it as part of the audience at an art gallery etc.

Thanks, Bryn. Food for thought.

Yes, it's art. But is it good art?

It is certainly not naturalism. In that cold weather the 'extremities' would definitely have shrunk.

Whenever I watch snooker, they seem preoccupied by invisible flecks of dust. How does he tolerate all that crud on the table.....
Re: But is it art?
I'll tell you a story...
As an art student (a long time ago) I was invited to the private view of an exhibition by some hot new conceptual artist with a group of my fellow students. Not having eaten much that day, I got pissed quite fast after two or three glasses of the plonk they were handing out. We were in a fairly bare gallery, with not much on the walls. "Well," I asked, rather loudly, "where is this art then?" "You're standing on it," one of my mates hissed. "It" was a small pile of sand - a sort of flat sandcastle - with a length of rope with a knot in it hanging from the ceiling above. I sidled off, leaving the artist to wonder why his or her visual statement had footprints all over it.
Never did understand why anyone would pay good money for a pile of sand or a pile of bricks.
Can I sell you a painting?
