It is not the silence, but what it says and implies, that makes it art.

To a troglodyte who does not understand art above the finger-painting level, it must indeed seem so.

@1,194,265 (B)Here I finished writing my novel. It's 2,500 sheets of blank paper. It's not actually a story, you just thumb through 2,500 sheets of blank white paper.
It's not the blank paper, but what that paper says and implies, that makes it fine literature.

Just because you do not understand something, does not make it dumb or wrong.

Cool. What do you think about my novel (which can be purchased at Staples, Office Depot, or Quill.com by the way), my painting, and my dinner?

If you intend them to be serious art, and you have an actual message behind them that you can intelligently explain, and if you are an artist, and if you display them as art, then I am willing to consider them art and try to understand your meaning.

I think you're right. This has really unleashed my creativity. I already completed three groundbreaking art projects in just a few minutes. Not only that, but I also wrote an expanded version of my novel, the definitive edition, which is a 10-ream box of paper.

It is displayed as art. I've made special arrangements for my novel to be prominently displayed in every Office Depot and Staples store in America.

Those are not art galleries, and you have no intelligent, artistic purpose. You are just posting images and mocking art.

Taking art out of the rarefied, elitist atmosphere and placing it in front of the common man is transgressive. This is actually more like guerilla art.

This song is actually why all youtubers have annoying royalty free music playing softly in the background of all their videos. The ContentID went insane and started deleting all videos that had any quiet parts in them
