I had a discussion with a friend the other day about what constitutes 'art.' Besides historical significance, we settled on 'art is supposed to make you feel something' and should require some creative effort.

What we disagreed on were modern mediums. I think that by that definition, shows like Bojack Horseman, are #art. Webcomics like Shitty Watercolour, are art. She's more of a 'art is only art with the right podium, aka a museum or theater etc' type.

I'm curious what the #fediverse thinks.

@Gina the comic makes use of negative space and numerous other decidedly art-school elements so clearly it must be art right? There’s really no set of definitive traits that makes one creative work art and denies another the same label. Art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
