Re: Is it Art?

What's it say under my name?

No, not yet....

Do you think it's just to get more kids into Tate Modern?

Well, more big kids at least

And if a PR bod says it's art, who am I to argue?

Why shouldn't you argue.If public money gets spent on it you should have every right to an opinion.Art is subjective and no one person has the right to tell anyone else that their taste is wrong..

It's why I hate that Trinny and whatits show.Who the hell gave them permission to judge what people should and shouldn't wear.

We really should stop giving folk permission to look down their noses at us and say we have no taste and have no legitimate reason to have an opinion on all forms of art.Why do people think everyone should like what they like?I love Shakespeare but I know there are lots who don't and I don't think any the less of them for doing so.

Mind I'll also defend your right to have no opinion at all because not every picture/statue/poem/novel will affect us in the same way.

Erm, I actuall do think it's art, although I'm not 100% sure why And of course I love Trinny & Suzannah - for exactly the same reason you hate them!

Re: Is it Art?

It is Art, but is it plagiarism?



A biiger image of the one on the left may make the comparison easier...



Unfortunately I can't find a larger image of the one on the right...

Do you think they could have been conceived totally independently, 15 years apart?

Both pieces of art have exactly the same number of dots...

Re: Is it Art?

at first I thought it might be a variation on the '4 colour theorem', but there are more than 4 colours

it reminds me of the pages used to test if you are colour blind.

In my opinion I can't decide whether mathematically generated graphics are 'art', or not - I don't mean rendered stuff, which requires the artist to design the framework, but things like fractals, which can be beautiful, but are 'lifeless'???

Re: Is it Art?

Well, the coloured one is Damien Hirst, and I don't think he's recognised as using computers to generate his art...

It's claimed he traced it, as it's an exact reversed image of the black & white one...

See here...

which quotes

Mr Dixon’s original drawing was based on a mathematical model inspired by his extensive study of a daisy, the natural pattern of which is different from any known concentric pattern in art or architecture. After some time trying to draw the pattern by traditional means, he drew it on a computer.



so it was a 'coloured in' copy of a computer generated image - not 'art', as I would define it - if people are prepared to engage with that, then I am not going to say they are wrong, I just don't agree with them.

Well he certainly didn't hand trace it even with a lightbox.

I think it's the usual case of failed artist having a case of sour grapes and wanting to make some dosh.I personally regard niether of them as being particularly original.I bet if we all went digging we could find that the so called original had been 'copied' from somewhere else or based on another picture.

Re: Is it Art?

is 'it' art? I think everything is a work of art. Someone, be it God, nature, man, or machine created 'it' and that I admire - whether I find it pleasing is another matter entirely!
