We all know art is an integral part of forming any culture or counterculture. But what IS art? Is it anything anyone intends to be art? Does it have to meet certain criteria to be categorized as art? Or does art become art as soon as someone makes something just to make some art? People get so opinionated on what art is best. Ever notice that? I feel like this happens mainly with music, in the circles I travel. The kind of music you like speaks volumes to your character. If you like music that is less accessible and involves more musicality, you are a more refined, artistic person. The converse would be true, too, naturally. Or so the music snob would have you believe. Personally I like my music to sound more on the grassroots tip. It’s the same for other art forms in our culture and society, too, right? Fashion. That’s another one where people get super snobby. Literature and film too. These are not to be confused with merely books and movies, either. You get what I’m saying, right? People are super judgmental when it comes to art. I have my tastes, and I’ve definitely both been the snob and been the snubbed. And there are definitely earmarks to works of art being more artistic than others, in all media. The bottom line I think is, art is art. Some is really bad, like when there is little effort, knowledge, genius, or combination thereof. And some is really good, when it does have those qualities innately. But even when it really sucks, and it still speaks to someone other than the artist…if just one other person is moved to feel something or think something by experiencing the piece…then that, I think, is art. I made this social commentary, ghetto grassroots art Vlog as a total joke, but when I posted it online, people really dug it. People felt it was heartfelt. So I guess I succeeded in making me some art! Even though I still think it’s a steamy pile of funny.

[..YouTube..] First I want to say I adore all her videos and think she is very intelligent and yes there is “art” that is total crap that is spliced together, but there is also true art, which is one of the few things that separate us from animals. The ability to create and think outside the box, is usually misunderstood.Like Kafka, Van Gogh, and Artaud.

[..YouTube..] But that does not mean it is not art, just because you can’t understand it. I do see what she’s saying though. Just don’t count out all avant gard art it’s the only way we grow as artists and connect in a different level to other human beings.

[..YouTube..] Now “Art” is a pretty general and mammoth of a term to use in the case of this video. We need to be careful of how we use it. Many of the interpretations below are right but also wrong, depending on how specific we want to get. If we are talking about Visual Fine-Art then we must look at it’s origin and purpose (its foundation). It’s the oldest language based on our ability to detect electromagnetic waves, naturally developed for the survival of our species. its shallow to think otherwise.
January 13th, 2010 at 12:40 am
[..YouTube..] …and I would like to add that if one subtracts the functionality from the purpose of art… in other words saying that “Art can be anything” … then what are you left with? -a hollow shell.
In that case you may as well strip away ALL humanistic qualities upon a person and still call him a human being. -Doesn’t make any sense.

[..YouTube..] You have scary eyes. You would have been better off doing some of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s poetry.Video killed the radio star and the 80’s killed popular music. Michael Jackson is rolling over right now. W.W.K.C.D.? Probably some black tar but thats just a guess. Courtney killed him altering the way music was supposed to evolve and now it has choked on it’s own vomit. As she someday will.
