    if not everything can be art — you’re saying there should be an arbiter of what is and isn’t art, and they have to look at every single piece of art past, present and future and designate “art” or “not art”?

    or are you saying the best way to understand art is to have a general consensus of the world population and designate what is art? Wouldn’t that give a massive amount of power to Asian sensibilities, which vastly outnumbers other ethnicities?

    or are you saying that once somebody taped a banana to a wall, art is no longer possible, and thus neither Oppenheimer, Barbie, or indeed any other movie, poem, song, painting, play, dance, sculpture etc is art any more?
