Is art Good?

I don't see it communicating anything but low effort and trying to scam people who think it is trying to be deep, when it's not.

It's not the most provocative or interesting art piece, in fact it is low effort and I do not find much value in it. But it is communicative; you're naive to think otherwise.why are you offended?

I gave a vague answer because the piece itself is vague. It's a white dot against black. There is not much substance to it obviously. But, as an arrangement of shape and color by an emotional being, it is inherently communicating something.
--- Quote from: McJob on January 29, 2017, 02:31:15 PM ---I don't see much scope for pointless, meaningless work in the creative arts industry. We're lucky enough to be working a fun job where we get to demonstrate our talents, so we really should be producing top tier content that enriches the lives of those who take time out of their busy lives to engage with it.
Substance before style.

I agree McJob, lots of post-modernism in the same vein as the dot Maxwell posted is quite boring and I think we ought to use the technology of modern times to the best of its ability to create art. My only argument is that all art communicates, you seem to be getting the wrong impression from what I'm saying.

You're assuming it's meant to be interpreted as "deep."

Looks like wood.
You guys are taking what I said wrong. My point is all art communicates, regardless of quality. Don't freak out like children and think I'm defending the lowest order of effort. Far too many assumptions are being made on your parts right now.

I don't have much to work with though. I do find it interesting to think about the weathering on the wood, but there is not much substance to it otherwise. Would you like to share your interpretation or continue misrepresenting my own arguments?
