Unless you are a confirmed psychic mind reader , there is no way on earth you can claim
to understand what the artist is attempting to do.


Sayings like 'art is in the eye of the beholder' and 'the author is dead' exist because the purpose isn't to guess the intent of the author. The purpose is to take the ideas and thoughts in the work as their own thing.

And saying you need to be a mind reader to understand the artist's intent is silly. Logic and reason have their place in the world, even if the internet abandoned them years ago.




Oh, and props to wrexasaur for the art he's posted to the thread. It's good stuff.


No silly, i thought it was obvious for the situations ( hence this thread ) when people are guessing / wondering / puzzled / confused
to why something is claiming to be art ( or not art )

But just because the author intended it to be art doesn't mean it is art. Kenny G probably thinks his stuff is art but it isn't.

There's also stuff that has people just expressing for the sake of it, they make no greater claims to their work. But others view it and they see art.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.
