i mean, "what is art" is one of the most basic and enduring questions of human endeavor. i'm tempted to say "art is when the artist's intention is to create art", but i feel like that's inadequate and smarmy.

yeah, imo there's no real definition. i think if you find it aesthetically pleasing in some way, it captures your attention, and someone put a modicum of work into making it: thats "art" trying to objectively score something on a subjective metric never ends well

i've always said that photography is an artistic pursuit that doesn't necessarily always create art. there are photographs that are very cold, clinical, documentary things, like when i took pictures of gigantic av drawings with my slr because i knew my phone wasn't going to cut it and they were too big for the copier. those photos are not art. but because of my experience with the artistic medium and all the time and effort i had put into the hobby as an artistic pursuit, i had the tools and skill to do the thing and have it be good. it'd be like if a hobbyist painter needed to make a sign for a yard sale and didn't put any embellishments on it or something. not quite a perfect analogy but whatever. i'd have to imagine that there are other places where you can draw lines like that, but it's so subjective and so up for interpretation, that it's probably not really worth trying to blanket categorize. plus, PokeJoe posted:post a photo and ill tell you if its art or not Beeftweeter posted:nggghf. orb: i like this orb. the art department here has one of the early sculpture classes that goes through a unit each term where the class seems to be told "glue some trash together" and i laugh at it a lot, but i think the reason i laugh at it is because they really don't have the fundamentals in place by that point in the term to make that trash look like something that isn't glued-together trash. i don't know what mrs beeftweeter's orbjet d'art looks like as a physical 3d object (i am sure it is wonderful!), but i do know that the photo of it is a delight, and it's making me wonder if maybe it would be a fun exercise for the art students to have to make a 3d sculpture and then take pictures of it. we don't do photography AT ALL here at this university anymore, not educationally, so i doubt that would be high on anyone's list nurrwick fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Sep 1, 2022 |

lmao yeah she's a MFA so she's constantly making poo poo like this. it's literally just a plastic ball with some string lights stuffed into it, and i soldered a battery compartment onto it for her. then she tied a ribbon to that and just hung it off the wall i bracketed the exposures to try and stack them but since it's a poo poo ton of bright lights it wasn't really possible to align them properly, and trying to automate it just failed miserably. i'm on my ipad right now which seems to have an issue reading panasonic raws in ios 16 (there's basically no contrast), but maybe this'll give you a better idea of what it is:

seems like most people get tripped up on whether or not the art is good when they're trying to define art imo anything a human being intentionally created is art because it reflects their intentions, imperfect execution, and stylistic choices

i have a tektronix 317 oscilloscope and its manual, and the manual has fold out pages for the schematics of all the different circuits in the box. i think that is absolutely beautiful and that it's an absolute accomplishment of labor and effort and i hope that whatever engineer drew them out was very proud of their work personally, i would not normally call those pages art, but drat if sitting here thinking about the schematics doesn't link me to some of the same feelings i get looking at things i *would* call art. i find myself thinking that human creation is worthy of consideration and appreciation independent of what label it gets. humanity is complicated. here's a jpeg  i made this by abusing wide angle and close focus. 14mm, wide open f2.8.

imo design isn’t art because the purpose for doing it originates outside the creator’s intent, ie the oscilloscope company needs documentation and the person who draws oscilloscope diagrams needs to eat so they take the job one of the reasons I like photography so much as a hobby is that I can’t conflate it with what I do for a living, I have dozens of not hundreds of incomplete personal design projects from the last 25 years because when it’s my free time the last thing I want to do is some adobe poo poo

i found this playlist in the grey forums and watched the first class, and it is actually a way better reference than the photography class i watched when i was first starting to get into photographing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7HrM-fk_Rc even in the first lesson there's way more information about the consequences of how light works than I expected. Any of y'all who are still interested in learning the basics should check it out. I don't have a lot of time to attentively watch stuff but i'm going to keep going theres some really cool geometry and good lines in here. For some reason though my eyes kept wanting to like clamber up/down and off the page to get more context? I am 100% pulling this out of my rear end, but I think that my eyes aren't staying in the frame because they can tell that I am looking at a building and want to know more about it; but if I rotate it 90 degrees clockwise I find that my eyes stay in frame and just appreciate the good shapes and lines and textures.

i really like the texture on these flowers, and the color turned out really complementary to it Beeftweeter posted:f art i really like this too, it reminds me of a frame from many years ago that i took of a fire alarm fixture. i should see if i can find it. meanwhile, since the thread said the word stacking, i wanted to try it and went back to the oooorrb (partly because i wanted to get a sense for exposure with a polarizer and ND filters to help keep glass wide open) to get a stack of thin dof frames  i didn’t feel like i needed to augment the colors too much, partly because i went late and there was only so much i could do to keep the afternoon sun vibe
