Re:Not a fine art (Score 1)

As a programmer and an artist sculpture/painter I have a problem with this term "fine art". I have artist friends that were in the Fluxes Movement which makes up a part of art history of the 20th century that are not invovled with "fine art". All of you should read Christopher Alexander's "The Timeless Way of Building" and His new series "The Phenomenon of Life". This whole discussion goes no where just as the discussion among my fellow artist on the question of art versus craft. The point Mr. Alexander makes is that a work of art, craft, building or program has a quality he calls "life". His theory is all things have some degree of life. It's the programs that have this life quality that should be the goal of all programmers. Chistopher Alexander is one that came up with the idea of pattern Language, but not for programming.
