Things I have learned from this thread:
  1. Real art is only attractive.
  2. This would be real art if more time was spent on it, i.e., it was in the font of an easily recognized and artistic brand name like Coke, Pepsi, or Campbell's soup.


Predictions:
  1. Art that is interactive in some form is more likely to remain topical and therefore more artistic.
  2. Or, if this is an evil marketing scheme-- Free advertising is successfully achieved when an advertisement transcends advert status to Art by including interactive elements of some sort (like Burger King's Subservient Chicken campaign). People love to see what happens next.


Is THIS real art?

Neither of these however are in fact criteria which 'real' art must meet, especially post-Duchamp.

What you should have learned is that if people don't believe you were attempting to create art when you crapped on the neighbor's front stoop, no amount of verbal diarrhea will change their minds.

If one examines dialectic socialism, one is faced with a choice: either reject cultural subtextual theory or conclude that the raison d’etre of the viewer is deconstruction, but only if expressionism is valid; if that is not the case, we can assume that the media is capable of significance. It could be said that in "Land", Abbatoir affirms Sontagist camp; in his earlier "Knock Knock" piece, although, he examines expressionism. Lyotard suggests the use of cultural subtextual theory to read society.

You've been saving a chomskybot for that for ages now, haven't you, Lucifer...?
