A defining aspect of art, in my opinion is what seperates murder from man-slaughter.

If you run over some bloke by accident, you can get charged with murder.  Whereas if you bring a gun to work to blow away some bloke who made you mad, that is murder.

What is one primary difference between what someone makes to be art, and something that someone may take as art? 

INTENT

Argueably, all 3D CGI is art.  Even the nude vickies stuff because someone,somewhere modelled the forms, did the textures and shaders and such.  Given that--IF you intend to make art, what ever you get from that work results in art,I guess.

Like Javanese shadow-puppeteers, we take the forms done by others and tell our own little plays.

I think this is the thread that never dies because new people (like me) come along and like their perceptions and misconceptions challenged by open discourse about what we think.
