Art imo is about communication not specifically rigid creation. You can clearly have art without implicit strict creation but not truly without communication. It's a brave man who can stand and say that something is or isn't art. As the intangible reality of what actually defines Art is a cornerstone to it actually being defined as Art.

Is the world's most amazing sculpture ever created that is then placed in a void never to be seen by another living soul, other than it's own creator, truly art? Or one man's introspective delusion, merely a dream existing only internally.

Is a sculpted platonic shape that is placed in an empty gallery space truly creation? What did the artist uniquely create? Not the shape itself, not the sculpture method, not the space. What he did create was a dialogue triangle between the Viewer-The installation-The artist and this is something I do see in common with most of the object given the label as "Art".

I saw a great little thank you note at the end of a movie I was watching recently, the film was Bedrooms to Billions about the rise of the Computer game industry. I think it suits somewhat to the context here.

" And a special thank you to all those who told us that the video game industry was too niche, not art, or not an art form worth covering! Your closed minded lack of belief and knowledge was an incredible source of inspiration for us! Out of mass negativity can always be found a power of pure positivity, so never, ever give up! "
