Oddbean new post about login | logout Idk about art is discovered, anything created can be considered an "art" I do agree to the rest of the points. Also that person is a moron, and is butt hurt that their art or their favorite person has competition. Remember when video games was not considered "real" art?
Here's my problem with the idea that art is created versus discovered: It's egotistical. They think they are so special that only THEY can come up with "real" art. Anything that can be created has always had the capacity to exist, it's simply a matter of uncovering it. Humans are products of the universe. To look outside is to look into ourselves, and vice-versa. Art is the universe expressing itself through us. It's not owned by anyone.
I feel like that's all a matter of perspective. I think the problem you have is people (particularly elitists) saying what is art is. Anyone can create art. And it's not necessarily all about sculpting and canvases either. Engineering, programing, and documentation, cooking can be an art. All of which created by the folks that work in that field. I'd argue that art discovery will be more of a result of ego. Who are those that discover it? Is it not considered art if an art Broker considers as not? It becomes very tribalistic, and subjective. Art is created and can be created by anyone or anything. It doesn't mean it isn't free of criticism 🤣
