Just answer the poll. Simple really. It will die when it's dead.

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.

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.

I voted yes, because I personally interpret this as a hilarious slight to the snobby "games are art" enablers.  I have decided to join in.

Oh, the satire is brilliant. If we're seriously talking about this then I believe art can be found in just about anything

In my opinion art is meant to be non-interactive.
 
But honestly this is a rather stupid question.

Why's that then? Would you not consider the 1000 journals project to be some form of art?
 
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.

Art is almost impossible to define. 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.

@buzz_clik: Interactive as in the viewer is able to manipulate what the artist created, which can change the meaning of the piece. I don't have time to read the whole site you linked, but from what I gathered the project just seems to have multiple contributors.
