Name a more provocative piece
Anything created with the purpose to evoke a response can be considered art. At its core, art is just expression.
Fuck you
“Clever Retort”, Birch, 2025, Digital Text on Digital Background
Try to convince folks a car is art. Either the design or the experience. People seem really resistant to the idea of mass produced things that aren’t intended to be art can, in fact, be art. But some cars are beautiful. Some cars are thrilling. Both are human expressions of emotion yet neither have allowed a car to be art. The only way an art gallery would accept a car as art is if it is deformed.
The car I drive every day was chosen for the sole purpose of its art. The flow of a road is art. The choice of what trees to keep or remove is art. What color you paint your house is art. The way your vacuum is designed is art. Your TVs bezels are art. Your fridges tone of eggshell is art.
Someone made a choice. Just because people choose to view an artless world doesn’t mean it’s not always around them.
Nothing I post is.
by definition, all art are memes (if we go by the original Dawkins definition)
Yes
I’m assuming you are talking “fine art” / art in a museum . Sure. Many artists have what we consider “memes” Barbara Kruger, Shepard Fairey, and and others have work we consider memes or meme like.
