    Good for you. Unfortunately, the world does not run on your opinions.

    "I always thought the point of art was to evoke an emotional response of some sort."

    This too.

    Well, you're wrong Chagen. It's as simple as that. It is not on your shoulders to determine the point of art. You're opinion is wrong. That's all there is to it.

    C'mon,there's no need to be that harsh

    ^ Reading the Wikipedia's article it said that the cans may not contain actual shit. I have to admit I was a bit offended

    AHR: Yet, Vivi herself, did not state that that was her opinion. 

    "The point of art is not for it to understood."

    No where do I see any quantifying this as an opinion.

    Yet, I must quantify my opinion, because this forum has an extreme double standard against me.
  • MoerinMoerin
    Art is an imitation of life.  There's a lot about life we don't understand.  Therefore it makes perfect sense for some art to make no sense whatsoever in the conventional sense.

    I admit to having a bias towards abstract stuff. From a concrete perspective, it doesn't make much sense, but somehow, done right, your subconscious just "gets it".

    Of course, not everything reaches that level and you could just realize it's all a bunch of bullshit.

    "I always thought the point of art was to evoke an emotional response of some sort."

    Sounds right.

    Eventually I'm going to see if it's possible to actually firebomb a website. 

    If you try to open DeviantArt and your screen gets covered with soot, you'll know that I've succeeded.

    "Well, you're wrong Chagen. It's as simple as that. It is not on your shoulders to determine the point of art. You're opinion is wrong. That's all there is to it."

    As I said before, you made your opinion on art abundantly clear. Is it somehow right because you do it?

    This forum really does have a large Double Standard against me.
  • BeeBee
    You could paint a firebomb and we might see it as a daily deviation

    >The
    point of art, to me, is to detail something in some way. Whether is be a
    character, event, place, or something else, it details some thing. If
    it's not understandable, then it doesn't have a point.

    That's the thing, it IS understandable. The purpose of abstraction is to provoke thought in a way that would be impossible in anything resembling reality. It's muddling the message on purpose to make you think.

    "No where do I see any quantifying this as an opinion."

    That's because people don't want to have to say "this is an opinion!" after every unsourced sentence they type.

    Anyway, I personally do define ar as "something that evokes emotion."

    I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    Art depends on the viewer and creator.

    Both add meaning to something and draw at the same time, there is no universal definition of art.

    I have no talent with a pencil or tablet.

    With gasoline, though, I'm the next Michaelangelo.

    I think that chocolate looks too much like poop.

    Opinions, anyone?

    Fine. Let me rephrase.

    "I don't think the point of art is for it to be understood. It could be, but in most probably is not, considering how subjective art is"
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss

    "Yet you guys yourselves put the onus on me to do it, and when I happen to not do it, I am punished severely for it."

    Your rhetoric often implies everyone else has bad taste for not sharing yours.

    Oh fun a definition of art debate. /sarcasm

    The thing about the image in the OP is that there are small things like the mac buttons on the top left of the paper that make it more that just an image typewriter.

    Thank you.

    Chocolate only looks like poop if you have some major digestive problems.  Give it harder edges and a bit of shine to make it look more chocolatey.
