Good art is free expression of diverse ideas. Conservatives prefer artistic expression to conform to their narrow sensibilities.

Does this really rise to the level of artistic expression?

Art does not need to be good to be expressed.

I’m tempted to dive into my philosophic opinions on when art ceases to be, but they would be coming from some really unearned confidence.

I want to hear them!

Eh, why not.

In my opinion, art is when a person is inspired by … ”emotion” seems to weak and vague. “Passion” is closer, but some art is subtler and gentler than that word evokes.

That feeling could be humor, or awe. It could be hate, love, worship, derision, even focus or determination. They take that feeling and use it as inspiration to intentionally create.

Creation. Inspiration. I think art is when these two elements fuze.

I know you get some weird situations because of that definition, but I still like it.

Poorly drawing a dick on a napkin to make your depressed friend smile is more art than a world class painter perfectly, yet passionlessly, duplicating a priceless masterpiece for a scam.

A designer spending four extra hours in CAD because that small section of the chair just isn’t right is creating art. The assembly line recreating that exact chair for sell isn’t.

What is good art is extremely subjective. In my opinion, it’s art that takes a great deal of skill, effort, or an ingenuous innovation. It’s art that the passion of the artist demands you listen, or art that inspires an intense passion in the consumer of it. If it has a goal of inspiring a reaction, and it inspires that exact reaction.

Bad art is lazy, or boring. It derives its substance entirely from prior art with no innovation or originality. If it has a goal reaction, it fails to elicit it. It can be low skill or low effort. If its designed to bully or punch down, it is in my opinion “bad art”.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Art is supposed to make you feel something.

This definitely makes me feel something. Not something nice, but something.

I mean, if it was meant to be ironic.... But like, also, they've been using auto tuners and other special effects in live performances since I was in highschool; enough that, with some care, one could make me sound like Britney Spears... and on key, and all that. and lets just say my problem isn't how I go looking for a note and don't find it. it's how I go looking for a note and find all the notes.

The sound tech should be fired. it's even easier today with everything being digital.
