I'm an art man, so I see art everywhere. I say yes... for art.
The Big Poll... Are Forums Art?

" Just answer the poll. Simple really. It will die when it's dead. "What is already dead cannot die.
The forums are not art. This is dumb.
There is little more tragic than an old man getting drunk and posting stupid polls on a forum inhabited by people at least 20 years younger than him. With better hair than him. And better judgment than him.

" @Snipzor said:I'll drink what you're drinking then ;)" We should drink together, Claude. You need the drinking company to stop you from silly posts. "This isn't silly. Forums are art. There is art here. Words, images, they all come together to form a culture of art. "

Why's that then? Would you not consider the 1000 journals project to be some form of art?" In my opinion art is meant to be non-interactive. "
I always consider anything that someone creates with the view to inspiring and provoking thought and/or debate could be considered art. Whether or not it achieves this via user interaction or not seems kind of irrelevant to me.

" I can't see forums fitting into any common used understanding of art though. It could potentially become art, but I don't think forums in general are. "I'm with you. With my personal definition of art above, I don't think Claude created this to inspire, nor to provoke thought and/or debate. I think he just did it to be a bit of a clownshoe.
