If you are stacking boxes simply so that people can look at the boxes and think about how well they’re stacked. Stacking the boxes was art.
If it’s you’re job to stack boxes, and you’re really fast and efficient at it. Well good for you. You’re great at your job. And we might be amazed and impressed. But it’s not art.

Exactly it is a skill that creates said art. Nothing wrong with appreciating skill.

2019-07-29 08:32:40 UTC  

It’s not the skill.

2019-07-29 08:32:41 UTC  

skill is an artform

2019-07-29 08:32:45 UTC  

It’s the purpose.

2019-07-29 08:33:22 UTC  

I can pick up a pencil right now and draw a stick figure man pooping into a teacup.
That’s art.
It’s really *bad* art. But it’s art.

2019-07-29 08:34:24 UTC  

perhaps this whole theory of 'art' is totally subjective?

2019-07-29 08:34:56 UTC  

No wonder art sucks nowadays when everyone make everything an art.

2019-07-29 08:35:04 UTC  

lol

2019-07-29 08:35:17 UTC  

are is indeed a social construct

2019-07-29 08:35:23 UTC  

If I am cleaning out one of the bins at work and spill iron oxide all over some scrap cardboard... it might land in such a way to create a beautiful pattern that everyone adores.
It’s not art. It’s an accident.

2019-07-29 08:35:39 UTC  

Nah that's art

2019-07-29 08:35:52 UTC  

... but if it commands a price - it's art!

2019-07-29 08:36:00 UTC  

You have to decide to create a thing that has no purpose other than be appreciated and judged *as* art.

2019-07-29 08:36:08 UTC  

I laid a massive shit the other day. Art.

2019-07-29 08:36:09 UTC  

Then you are making art.

2019-07-29 08:36:29 UTC  

Lol

2019-07-29 08:36:41 UTC  

I gotta go make dinner.

2019-07-29 08:36:48 UTC  

of course, stacking boxes can command a price too (in the form of a wage) - so you know, whatever

2019-07-29 08:36:48 UTC  

Thanks for that image as I go.

2019-07-29 08:37:34 UTC  

some people consider cooking dinner an art - have fun!

2019-07-29 08:41:25 UTC  

I just remembered there were japanese performers literally doing construction work as an art performance trending on vine and youtube a couple years ago

2019-07-29 08:47:30 UTC

https://youtu.be/jHKW5AWLby0 not really relevant to the discussion but I couldn't help thinking of this lol

2019-07-29 08:59:26 UTC  

Art is gay

2019-07-29 08:59:51 UTC  

depends

2019-07-29 08:59:56 UTC  

but mostly nowadays

2019-07-29 08:59:59 UTC  

yeh

2019-07-29 09:01:32 UTC  

Why do people hate on that ballwax guy? I dont like the government, cops, courts, public roads existing, but so long as it does, it should be consistent. And you cant deny service on the basis of race, so why whould you be able to on the basis of sex?

2019-07-29 09:01:50 UTC  

must be weird for an alien to come down... see the progression of art right up to the renaissance period and then suddenly like... wtf happen?

2019-07-29 09:02:49 UTC  

whut?

2019-07-29 09:02:59 UTC  

You think art stopped progressing after that?

2019-07-29 09:03:19 UTC  

We didnt even have tentacle porn in the renaissance.

2019-07-29 09:03:39 UTC  

we also didn't have retards like you

2019-07-29 09:04:03 UTC  

There's a lot of art and not all of it is bad the good stuff is what gets remembered

2019-07-29 09:04:08 UTC  

you cant look at the intricate details of renaissance statues and paintings... the painstaking details and time it took... then look at a broken urinal and say "dis art" and think thats progress?
