Art is in the eye of the beholder. If a piece does the things that art is
supposed to do (instill emotion, make one think, make one wonder) it’s art.

Actually you can go further from this premise. I have interesting thoughts
going through my mind while sitting in a train for example. Would you count
the scenery I see passing by as art? It’s about as good as implying
EVERYTHING around us is art. (1)

The original definition of Art is that it is man-made. Specifically, it
seperates the world of human made objects (Art) from non-human made objects
(Nature). I’d say that any definition of art has to include some manipulation
by humans(1) - if even the digitial recording of nature (photographs).

2 - conversely this is why I’m down on 8 wide and on Miniland scale (if only
in fun)... they both lift the limits that others deal with, and in a sense,
are a cheat. (not that it’s wrong, if it feels good, do it...)

I’ve been increasingly interested in Miniland scale for the possibilities it
opens in terms of detail. However, I’m more drawn towards the figures of
Miniland, like how Felix
uses them, or MisaQa’s
angels. I feel that using minifigs for human figures is kinda cheating - making
them out of bricks is more difficult, and therefore more “pure.”
