David Patrick Bryan (davidbryan[]aol.com) says...
Art is the cool air sweeping life's preasures from your face. It is the
taste of cool water, that cannot be described. It is the sharing of
one's immortal soul. The giving of one's gift. The circle of looking,
finding, and returning home. It is the weight of a single flame. It is
looking in the mirrow and seeing yourself looking up! Art has value when
it is returned to the artist with a kiss. In a word, Art is "LOVE"!

Saskia Botsch (Saskia[]stud-mailer.uni-marburg.de) says...
This Definition is hard,
but Art comes from the greek and means technik, the ability to create something.
Later on it gained more space (like the art of living, of building etc.). Then l'art pour l'art...
And now, it's an renaissance of the connection of technik and art.
An Artist is someone who provides the space to make art. He creates a new world of art, the visitor or consumer gets to be an artist for 5 Minutes.

1- vacuous self indulgent twitter
2- lots of porno
3- .
4- Snoop Doggy Dogg (?)
5- creation and destruction at the same time is something I enjoy in art but that is my aesthetic
6- obviously something we find undeniable crucial to life (which is also, like "art," an undefinable experience though it is superficially obvious), a fact illustrated by the varied definations, many of them reaching for transcendence--------> perhaps art is simply the opposite of life- a sort of ying-yang thing of chaos and conscious application

Joonas Kiviharju (dread[]sci.fi) says...
I had to write here in finnish because english, german and SWEDISH were allready represented:
Elämä on tuskaa. En kestä sitä, mutten pakene. Pakeneminen on turhaa, sen olen oppinut. Lähden pois, mielikuviin, pois todellisuudesta. Todellisuus on suhteellinen käsite. Todellisuus on henkisesti kuollut tila. Voiko siis olla todellinen, jos ei edes elä. Mikään ei ole todellista, en edes minä itse. Ajattelen, siis en ole.
Olen miettinyt, kaikkea. Ajattomia ajatuksia, jotka pursuavat mieliimme, kun haluamme luoda jotain kaunista, tai rumaa. Asiota, joita en uskonut voivani tiedostaa. Luulin olevani viisas, mutta paljastuin tyhmäksi. Niin, tiedän sen itsekin olen tyhmä, vaikka muut tai minä itse muuta väittäisimme.
Voin huijata elämää ja ihmisiä kuvittelemaan olevani heidän yläpuolellaan, tai jos haluan; alempana kuin muut. Mieleni kulkee muualla kuin teidän, ja minunlaisiani on paljon. Kuitenkin, jos haluaisitte herätä, olisimme voimattomia edessänne.
Olen siis miettinyt, kaikkea ja muutakin. Me, jotka luulemme itsestämme liikoja, mutta tiedämme arvottomuutemme. Luulen, että meille on nimi, joka kuvaa meitä ja mieliämme. Nimi, jonka äänteissä paljastuvat kaikki ajatuksemme, sille joka osaa kuunnella. Meidän nimemme on lyhyt ja kaunis, ja turhamaisuuttamme haluamme käyttää sitä itsestämme, vaikka tiedämme ettemme ole sen arvoisia.
Jos vain me olisimme, me kuolisimme. Sillä me olemme loisia, emme kuitenkaan rumia, vaan luonnon täydellisimpiä ilmestyksiä, jotka imevät teidän elinvoimanne ja kukkivat teidän mielissänne. Ette ehkä huomaa, kuinka te kuihdutte ja me kylvemme ilon temppelissä, sillä luulette elävänne yhä täydellisemmin meidän kanssamme. Halveksimme teitä ja te ihailette meitä, vain viisaimmat ovat huomanneet kuinka te matelette ja kuinka meitä kannetaan kultatuoleissa. Te pidätte näitä viisaita ihmisiä yksinkertaisina, ettekä huomaa järjen puhetta heidän koruttomissa lauseissaan.
Mutta te ette kapinoi, vaan alistutte rooliinne luullen olevanne onnellisia, tietämättä paremmasta. Vain teidän jumalanne ovat meidän yläpuolellamme, ja vaikka uskonne jumaliin horjuisi, uskotte meihin. Vaikka jumalanne kuolisivat, me elämme.
Te elätte säälittävän elämänne, synnytätte ehkä yhden meistä; ja ylpeilette sillä, luulette kuolevanne onnellisina, ja kun kuolette, kuolette lopullisesti. Kun me kuolemme, elämme ikuisesti, repien elinvoimaa lapsiltanne, ja yhä uusilta sukupolvilta.
Olen miettinyt kaikkea tätä, mutten tiedä vastausta. Vaikka me kuolisimme, nostaisitte joukostanne uusia loisia, sillä se on ihmisen luonto. Tälle ei ole loppua, sillä vaikka välillä heikkenemme tai kuolemme, synnymme taas uudestaan entistäkin vahvempana. Kuollessamme hautaamme vanhan suunnan ja luomme uuden entistä surkuhupaisamman, ja nauramme yhä makeammin, teidän suistuessa syvemmälle kuiluun, joka on sokeus.
I'm also going to translate this into english (this WILL be difficult):
Life is pain. I can’t bear it but still I don’t run away. Escaping is futile, that I have learned. I’ll go away to my imagination, away from reality. Reality is a relative concept. Reality is a mentally dead condition. So can one be real if one isn’t even alive. Nothing is real, not even me. I think therefore I am not.
I’ve been thinking, about everything. Timeless thoughts that flow into our minds, when we desire to create something beautiful, or ugly. Things that I didn’t believe I could become conscious of. I thought I was wise but I was unvieled stupid. Yes, I know it myself. I am stupid, even others or myself would claim otherwise.
I can fool life and other people to think I’m above them, or if I desire so, below than others.My mind takes other paths than yours, and there are many of my kind. However, if you’d desire to wake, we’d be strenghtless in front of you.
So, I’ve been thinking, about everything and else. We who think too much about ourselves, but are aware of our unworthyness. I think there’s a word for us that describes us and our minds. A word in whose phonemes reveal all our thoughts, to the one who knows how to listen. The word is short and beautiful and because of our vanity, we like like to use for ourselves, even we know we’re not worth it
If only we would exist, we’d die. That’s because we’re parasites, not ugly-ones, but the nature’s most perfect creations, who suck your lifepower and bloom in your minds. You may not see how you wither away and we bathe in the temple of pleasure, because you think you live even fullier with us. We despite you and you admire us. Only the wisest have noticed how you crawl and we are being carried in golden chairs. You think these wise people are simple, and cannot therefore see the words of reason in their plain sentences.
But you don’t rebel, and you submit to your role thinking that you are happy, without knowing of the better. Only your gods are above us, and even you would stop believing in them, you believe in us. Even your gods would die we will live.
You live your pityfull lives, maybe bear one of us, and are proud of it, you think you’ll die happy, and when you die; you die permanently. When we die; we live forever, ripping lifepower from you children and the forthcoming generations.
I’ve been thinking about all this, but I do not know the answer. Even we would die, you’d raise new parasites among you, because that’s the human nature. There’s no end to this, even we get weaker or die, we’ll born again, stronger than ever. When we die we bury the old tendency and create a knew one, which is even more tragicomical than the last, and we laugh even sweeter while you are thrown deeper into the pit that is blindness.

Spleen (spleen[]webspan.net) says...
Art is the spontanious outpouring of the overwhelming collection of pain and misery and death. Art allows us to hold ourselves as superior to the universe. Art is everything and yet it is ultimately nothing of consequence. Art is the first step on the journey, and it is also the final resting place of a tormented soul. All in all, Art is.

Preston McCall (prestonmccall[]sprintmail.com) says...
Art is the presentation of some universal statement of the human condition. Great art is just painting. Great art is painting which starts as a lie and becomes truth. Great art is the embodiment of a tremendous spirit of being so in touch with the painting medium that a transition occurs which for a split second opens a door to all of time. The experience of that open door is so brief that it requires the intense focus of energy to experience it; so intense that one barely notices the door is briefly open. For a spilt second when I see a Tiziano Vecellio (Titian) the door opens and the presence of what he portrayed comes to life, for now, for then and for the future. Art is sublime. It is considerably better understood by a rigorous study of its history. It is naive to miscalculate its ultimate importance. Great art (painting) is the most important human contribution to the future. None other can be so virtuous! pingebat.pxnt

peter james kashur (pkashur[]accent.net) says...
Let us put on the list of forbidden words and phrases-along with “finalize,” “point in time,” “charisma,” and “contact” as a verb-the locutions “Art,” “Artist,” and “Work of Art.” Naturally the prohibition cannot be absolute. The great museums of New York and Boston cannot go nameless, nor can countless university departments. In historical contexts the terms may of course be preserved; my proposal concerns contemporary usage. But here we should be mercilessly strict: we must not refer to any living persons as Artists, or to what they produce as Art. But then what shall we call them? Just whatever they are.
Students will, of course, continue to obtain academic recognition for their craftsmanship in drawing and painting, but degrees in abstractions like “Creative Arts” will no longer be granted. Anyone who expects credit for a container filled with used paper towels will have to find a department that is willing to go on record as giving advanced degrees in wastebasket filling.
As soon as Acconci’s bites are denied the forbidden appellation of Art, they will be seen for what they are: real bites. They must be assessed as such: for example, did they hurt?
Since each thing is itself and not something else, let us insist that it be called exactly what it is and treated as what it is, without recourse to the vague catchall something else, “Work of Art.”

art strolls into a mind full of pain and reduces it to utter...absolute...nothingness

Art should be designed to nourish all the senses, - touch, taste, sight, sound and smell; - the purest form of art may be found in nature.

Ye hoary vitalists and mystics, purveyors of fuzzy-headed naïve
platitudes--
Art is not an idea. Art is not a way of connecting with the soul. Art
is not a religious experience. Art is not expression. Art is not
meditation. Art is not therapy. Art is not a regression into savagery.
Art is not a primal language. Art is not autobiography.
Art IS a thing! Art is an act and art is an object! Art has an
empirical existence!
Feelings do not!
If you are an artist, go MAKE THINGS! Philosophizing about art as
soul-therapy is NOT ART, but vacuous, self-indulgent twaddle.

The high mission of any art is, by its illusions, to forshadow a higher universe reality; to crystalize the emotions of time into the thought of eternity.

Art is a conversation between one human spirit and any other spirits who choose to listen. Art cannot exist in isolation and it achieves its most exquisite purpose when neither spirit presupposes what the topic will be.

This is a very interesting question. If you ask my dealer it is the peices that sell,
I make a lot of art that never sells, but it's still art. Art is a very hard thing to pin
down. It is really a defination more than objects of stuff. If an "Artist" says it's art
then it's art!!!!!!!!

Art to me is the expression of the being inside the mask that you show
to the world. To me, it's not the painting of something exactly as you
see it, but what is inside you when you look at that something. Art is the
you that you are too often afraid to show the rest of the world..

art is the search, the search to make the connection within yourself. Getting out all the confusion, all the frustration. Focusing on only what is truely impo rtant.^M
