Alright, this topic stems from a small debate in the graphics showcase about whether posterizing a picture is the same as vector/vexeling. But to expand on that, I'd like to raise up a question that is constantly debated today: so, what is art? Or, what constitutes art? Is it the fact that it is created or because it has an underlying meaning? Or just because the 'artist' or 'person who made it' calls it art, therefore it's art.
Also, I'd like to bring up the topic of computer graphics and photography. Vectoring and vexeling, could that go under the art category, or like photography, not truly be considered an art because that is simply the 're-making' or 'copying' of something else? Should art be confined only to the constrictions of old beliefs - the fact that you have to paint, or mold, or make something completely new to be considered as art? If so, then Andy Warhol's pop art should not be considered as art. Okay, discuss. |

I've been wondering this too, because I've seen some things that I would not consider "art," but is sold as art.
For example, there is this guy named Martin Creed. Check out some of his "art."   Ripped up paper. Blu-Tack. I don't see the art here. Where does one draw the line between art and garbage? I have an empty waterbottle sitting on my desk. Is it art? I have a textbook pile leaning precariously, is that art? |
