How does that help? Who decides what's bad? Aren't you still in the mode
of not having an objective standard? Now, this whole thing may be
futile, I tend to come down on the side of "there isn't an easy way to
define what art is, it is based on each person's value system to make
the determination", which is not the view that John Neal has. But you've
just traded the "is it art?" question for a similar one "is it bad art?"
which is just as dependent on internal values of the observer.
