Comment Of course it's not art. (Score 3, Insightful) 441
If the question isn't being asked disingenuously then it's being asked ignorantly in my opinion.
Art is deliberately created in every aspect. The intricacies of a Pollock only appear random to those who choose not to really see. The randomly generated pictures created by typogenerator are just that - random.
There is no engagment of artist and/or observer, there is no attempt to generate an emotional response, there is no meaning, no soul.
99.99% of the time the question "Is it art?" is simply a statement by the asker of the question that they have no concept of what art is.
The only question that ever makes any sense at all is "is it good art or bad art?", a question that is patently inapplicable to typogenerator.
