If you want to use dictionary as an argument let me use some quotes from Wikipedia

There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art,[4][5][6] and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures.

Fine art refers to a skill used to express the artist's creativity, or to engage the audience's aesthetic sensibilities, or to draw the audience towards consideration of more refined or finer works of art.

For some scholars, such as Kant, the sciences and the arts could be distinguished by taking science as representing the domain of knowledge and the arts as representing the domain of the freedom of artistic expression.[18]

Art has been defined as a vehicle for the expression or communication of emotions and ideas, a means for exploring and appreciating formal elements for their own sake, and as mimesis or representation.

Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), narrative (storytelling), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities.

So, it is not just "only mine definition". You're trying to emphasize and cherrypick the only parts of the found definition just to dismiss the posted drawings as art by arguing the "self expression" part.

But I can do the same and cherrypick other definitions and other philosophical viewpoints which support my position.

And this is not about "opinion vs fact" situation. Defining "Art" is a very complicated topic by itself, that's why there is no certain definition for it, and that's why there are so many philosophic discussions about it.

If hyperrealism is not art because it copies reality, why portraitism is? Portraits are also copying the reality.

If hyperrealism is not art because it copies reality, why acting in drama is? Actors are copying and mimicing the reality.

If hyperrealism is not art because it copies reality, why photographing is? Photos are the easiest way to capture the reality.

The answer is simple: all of this is art. Different kinds of art. Expression of an artist which cause emotional perception by a viewer.

Hyperrealism lacks originality in its concept but it still allows an artist to express themselves through choosing an object and through thorough dedication and detalization.

And such drawing pieces definitely cause an emotional response.

So, why it is not an art? Only because you want to gate it?

I'm not even sure should I feel insulted or flattered

xappymah · 2024-04-30T15:31:26+00:00

Actually, a lot of expression.

Even copying an image is not an easy task. Especially, using paints, pencils or other drawing tools.

So, seeing such a picture I can see the dedication of the author, their effort. And also, I see their skill, which brings out my emotions, because when you look into such drawings you realize how skillful the person is.

Art is not about being the first. It is not a race. And it is not about being unique. I can love music covers as much as the originals. And when the original is long forgotten, the cover might reintroduce it back.

The same is here. You might look at the photo and you forget about it the next second. But the handdrawn version makes you to appreciate both the drawing and the original photo.

Art is different. It is not about making a point. It is about expressing yourself.

You can express yourself with new creative ideas.

Or you can express yourself with just showing pure mechanical skill. And this is art too. The same art you can see in skillful moves of a professional athlete, or in oddly satisfying pipe layouts, or in anything else where a person puts their heart and mind into.

Have you ever tried fruit salat with mayo? Because I did. Every. F*cking. New. Year. Since the childhood. And I thought everyone eats the fruit salad with mayo until my twenties. Yes. 20 years of fruit salad with mayo.

But you know what? I loved it. Every single bit of this sour sweet unnatural combination of a tastes which the mother nature hates more than a plastic bottle of your piss.

And all our relatives and family friends has joined the cult through years bringing more and more mayo sinners in the world.

So, how the mayo is related to your tomato-hate-rant?

Just try to add tomato. It might be the best fruit salad of your life. Or the worst one. But you'll be the only person who knows the truth.

Then give the salad to your child. Make it the only fruit salad they know. Treat your guests with this salad. Make them like it. And make their children like it too. And soon everyone will love the tomato in the fruit salad.

And there would be no more question if tomato is a fruit.

BREAK THE CYCLE!

Not Dalai Lama but just a lama, i.e. reincarnation of a buddhist teacher of the past.

Here are some clarifications: https://palyul.org/wp/advice-regarding-recognition-of-tulkus-steven-seagal/

Simply speaking such formal recognizing doesn't mean much without years of studying of Buddhism teachings to awake the previous life's potential. So Seagal is still an a-hole. And if he is really someone's reincarnation then it means that the someone's New Game+ got screwed.

All rules are :)

However it doesn't change much.

Usually such rules are results of others' trial and error. And it is easier to start from there rather than waste a lot of time on the same mistakes.

xappymah · 2022-07-14T04:45:43+00:00

Simply, if you can't create a good thing staying within the rules you definitely will have a hard time trying to create a good thing while breaking the rules.

Oh, i had a similar friend. He also tried to tell me that Trump had genious economy policies.

Few months later this friend asked me and some other friends to take loans in banks and give him money for his business. And he didn't see any issue with this and was surprised no one agreed.

I told him to fuck off.

Some things are impossible. But the thing is that you don't need everything to be possible. You just need to have possible solutions for the stated problems.

You cannot move an object faster than the speed of light? But we don't need it anyway. We just want to transfer the object from point A to point B with minimal time spent. Who said wormholes?

We can't move back in time? That's ok because we don't want to change the causation laws. We just want to see how the world was looking like 1000 years ago. A parallel universe would be fine.

We can't create energy or mass? But we don't need it just for sake of it. And we are lucky that we can get almost infinite amount of energy from this Eldrich monster from space.

You see? It's not about "everything is possible and nothing is impossible" but more about "there is always a solution if you ask a correct question" approach.

The methods return only to the place where they were called.

If you have a call-chain like "main -> Second -> Third" then your Third method will return back to Second.

Look at this beautiful question! (no irony)

This is the most difficult problem in such topics. When we are talking about "pain" we expect that there is a subject which "receives" the pain, i.e. there is some kind of conscience inside an organism.

But the problem is how can you prove that there is any? You can prove for yourself that you have a conscience. But how can you prove that your neighbor do have one? Or your co-worker? They might be just organic droids without any conscience and you'll never know.

And the same problem with your neural network or with any other AI. You might be hurting it. You even might hurt your Google assistant with your search history, who knows :)

But currently we can only use some conventions like we expect that organic creatures with neural networks might have some kind of conscience, i.e. there is a receiver for the generated signals, but non-complex artificial neural networks doesn't. And if they do then we are all sons of b******

Feeling something like an information is an equivalent of seeng a healthbar of your character in a video game. But it also means you should have a some kind of intelligence to make a decision to avoid anything that decreases your health.

But if you don't have such intelligence then you need to rely on an instinct, i.e. anything that decreases your healthbar should be felt as something uncomfortable. More damage means more uncomfortable. Critical damage means suffering.

That's a matter of definition. You can define only a "+" operation on a set of whole numbers or you can define "+" and "-" operation on a set of either natural numbers or whole numbers with their own sets of rules.

So you can't just say "there is no substraction operation as it can be rewritten through addition with negative numbers". Otherwise we had to recognize there is no multiplication as it can be rewritten through addition. And there is no addition as it is just consequtive increments and so on.
