What counts as ‘art’ ?
Bina Nusantara
Artist, philosophers, anthropologist, psychologist and
programmers all use the notion of art in their respective field, and
give it operational definitions that are not very similar to each other.

The main recent sense of the word ‘art’ is roughly
abbreviation for creative art or ‘fine art’
Here we mean that skill is being used to express the artist creativity, or to engage the audience’s aesthetic sensibilities, or to draw the audience towards consideration of the ‘finer’ things.

many thinkers have defended practical and lowbrow forms as being as much
art as the more lofty forms.
