Human beings live like knowers, striving toward absolute information, but death is a perfect insult that frustrates all knowing. Death confounds the whole spectacle and consolation of knowledge. Death is not the attainment of any state you can know. Death is sacrifice. Death is the sacrifice of knowledge, of independence, of experience, and of presumed individual self. (Samraj)
^Everything is art. The skillful way I'm currently eating pizza rolls, biting off a corner, then sucking out a little filling so as to avoid overflow upon the first bite...is art. Your sh*ttiest combination of a random picture and sound...is art. The odd manner in which my cat recently puked on the floor, resulting in a stain that bore a passing resemblance to Alfred Hitchc*ck's trademark silhouette...is art. Throw your retarded preconceived notions about "art" having a pre-requisite out the window.
Everything is art? Maybe, probably not. Art must have a purpose, whether it be interesting from a compositional approach, beautiful in it's aesthetic, or absurd in it's randomness. This is most definatey art, as is a lot of "comedy" ytmnds...it really doesn't have anything to do with "serious" subjectmatter or abstract sounds. I think we can all agree that a site like this is more worthwhile from an artistic standpoint than someone uploading a random picture with a random song.
Perhaps "everything" is too much of a generalization, as it excludes..well...nothing. However, I think you're still getting caught up in the belief that in order for art to be "art", it must be purposely beautiful or interesting. Art is, technically speaking, not a word used to measure or evaluate. It's not an adjective. It's a noun. I believe the value of a piece of art lies with the audience and the way in which they appreciate it.
No doubt an intricate piece of imagery such as this is going to be viewed by most people, (myself included) as having a more beautiful and purposeful aesthetic than say...a picture of a british shorthair matched with Coburn...but that doesn't change the fact that both are technically "art". I should add that this is just my opinion. Apologies if it comes off too "matter of factly".
I still cannot find your tigers, but I think I hear Guns N' Roses in the background. I also think I get the relation you were talking about... The Jiihadytmnd in the corner, the knights fighting, and the tree - you're talking about the christian holy wars? Fight club relating to the simple war concept and I'm still noodling out the rest. Have I got the base of it though? Or just another general concept of what this could be?
