I stated "a single frame extracted from a security camera operated randomly and automatically in the corner of an empty warehouse". Operated. Past tense. I phrased it intentionally. YOU made the assumption. Admittedly I baited you, but perhaps you should have questioned the situation more carefully before deciding. Think me a troll all you wish. It makes no nevermind. The notion that a collected strip of blank tape presented as art, when even you yourself who collected and presented don't understand your own message, is absurd. But enjoy. I'm not referring to negative space surrounding positive space. I conspicuously said literal nothing. The belief that art is whatever any believer believes it is equates to everything being qua art. However, it also provides for any believer to believe the opposite. "Skill is present in the execution of all works," Egad. "You dont have to like it, but that doesnt mean it isnt art." Nor does liking it mean it is art. "Skill in and of itself is not measurable; however it can be observed in our actions (or productions) and judged relative to others." And how on Earth does this NOT equate to measurement? I find your rebuttal lacking in rationale (although I am sincerely grateful for it), so I will heed Nietzsche's advice and invest my interests elsewhere. I must admit, given his intro, SoulTaker WAS expecting to stir a hornets nest. But you are just as capable of avoiding his posting as he is of avoiding the gallery (as I infer Wolf359 suggested). I now understand that you were trying to help SoulTaker find the art for which he was so desperate. Now it all makes sense.
