    If they want to make words their artform then they could. We already have words for that: poetry, stories, songs. The art is the words.

    If a prompt is art, then “make me a sandwich” is cooking.

        Legitimately yes, it is art. I will accept a human being taping a banana to the wall of an art gallery (or whatever is the context of what you’re ranting) to be art long before clanker visual puree. You’ve never heard of performance art?

          I will accept a human being taping a banana to the wall of an art gallery to be art long before clanker visual puree.

          Which human being is doing the expression there? The farmer that grew the banana? The factory worker that made the tape? The intern being made to tape the banana to the wall while the art she pours her soul into does not help make her ends meet? The prompt writer saying “tape a banana to the wall of the gallery, like , in the middle, and make sure the tape is diagonal”? The money launderer paying for the operation?

          You’ve never heard of performance art?

          Yeah, I’ve been to metal gigs and theatre shows.

          EDIT : I’ve BEEN ON STAGE
