When you find a cave that looking out of will have the same panorama as the shell, at sunrise, in the first days of March, place the shell in a certain corner, and when the sun shines on it a reflection will be cast on the wall of the cave.

To be fair, define art.
It's less a question of "what is art" because you can't answer that and more a question of "where does this creation intend to lead society?" followed immediately after by "why would people like society to follow this creation's lead?" and then the vague question of "is this a good idea?"

there are certain benefits to romantic ideals, but the issue is that, so often, these ideals are not based on reality. I'm going to opine that a basis in geometry and mathematics is a good place for the mind to develop, but there is still more to life than these models can reasonably explain.

So, let me get this straight. What you're saying is that cave paintings (and some art beyond that) were meant to lead society to a sense of the divine?
You and artfag anon seem to agree despite different wording. The difference is that you're talking about religious art and he's talking about art in general.
>x has always been y
Good luck proving any statement this general, faggot. Have you been around since the beginning of time?

"What is x?" is a shitty question. There's so many ways to answer it that it can't be answered "correctly". "Where does this creation lead society?" is something we might be able to find an answer to.

Art so we're on topic.

...Yeah, I don't think that works too well for, say, Flemish still lifes. Or most things by Canaletto. Probably doesn't apply to a big chunk of classical portraiture, or trompe l'oeil paintings.

I dunno, I think that definition only seems plausible because "a sense of the divine" is a very vague phrase.

>>55230613
"Art" derives from the same root as "artificial", "artifice" and "artifact". All of which share in common the understanding the object was built with purpose by another entity. What the purpose is does not matter, only that it was intentionally created.

You can sit anywhere, but an object created for sitting is a chair- regardless of how comfortable, whether it has a back, arms, or even legs.

You can take anything and make it art (technically), provided you present it as such. But a natural forest- untouched by man- is not art and cannot be art, no matter how beautiful or divine. Yet if you rip up the plants and arrange them the same in a museum, now it has become art.

Whether art is "good" is an entirely different matter. 99% of everything is shit. In pop art, you are looking to entertain and acquire riches from as many as possible- and is often disdained because it is designed for the most common denominator. In high art, you mostly have people who are looking for something "new". The idea of presenting shit (figurative and then later literal) as art was, at one point, new, and therefore praised. They're quite aware it's shit- but are amused at the very notion of someone presenting shit as art- though its become significantly less amusing now. And between those two, you have indie art- not mass market enough to be firmly successful, but also trying to entertain and be quality. Familiar enough to be pleasing and beautiful in a common sense, but exotic and alien enough to still be interesting. Its always a fleeting market chasing small niches of people, since people like different things.

>>55230822
This is a good post. It accurately explains the strange art that folks like to complain about -- it's novel, and that's the point. It's not trying to be a replacement for a Hellenic statue or a realist painting, it's just trying to be novel and put a new thought in someone's mind.

Also I did not mean states as in the American sense, but in the government sense.
USA, Russia, and China are decidedly more important than France, Japan, or Israel.
Australia, Canada, and Brazil are less important, but I would argue this is due to a lack of industry and a generally worthless population.

Similar to how Italy mattered once because of geography, but didn't have the natural resources to actually matter.

Seeing as California alone has the 6th largest global economy if it were independent, I think it is considerably more relevant than the entirety of central asia and the arbitrary divisions of the Soviet Republic that fractured off afterwards.

It is interesting. But just a real corpse would be too hard to traverse. Most places in the body would not be spacious enough to get through.

I think the idea has potential, tough. How about a sect or fanatic religion devoted to a dead god. And their sanctuary or temple city is a giant superstructure inspired by a corpse's anatomy.

So the different structures and rooms would be analogous to a body and are used for different rituals and functions reminiscent of bodily processes.

>But just a real corpse would be too hard to traverse.
/tg/ did a kind of horror setting that involved people getting transported to an enormous maze a while ago (Warren's Folly). I ran across it too late to add anything useful, but I started thinking about a disease that turned people into mazes from the inside out. Take a mid-sagittal section of someone in the latest stages of it, and you'd see only minute calcified rectilinear passages, with a width about that of your little finger, near the core of the body; as you proceed distally, they'd become more rubbery and pliable, almost noodle-like around the joints.

The weirdest part of the idea lay with the fact that someone who had contracted it could be asymptomatic for a long, long time, somehow maintaining themselves even while losing their organs to proliferating corridors. It was only near the end that the disease became debilitating, and shortly thereafter fatal. Someone would be fine for a long time, and then suddenly die over the course of a few agonizing days, and you'd cut them open and there would be nothing but maze.

>>55239345
It would be interesting to have a quest involving a giant who swallowed a magical artifact that caused the maze disease in nearby towns. The PCs would need to enter the giant's mouth, navigate the maze and retrieve and destroy the artifact.

In the context of Warren's Folly, I'd envisioned it as a deeply mysterious malady with no known cause which seemed to strike at random, made worse by the fact that the sufferers rarely realized their condition until their insides were almost completely transformed. It was meant to correspond with the fact that the world of Warren's Folly was an enormous, perhaps infinite, maze; a suggestion that the maze was something beyond a concrete manifestation as a set of walls. But the setting moved away from that kind of horror very quickly, and adding it in would have made no sense.

Yes but some people see a united agenda(racist, jewish, sjw, patriarcal, cultural marxist) behind everything.
The big conspiracy is much more interesting and engaging than individuals just trying whatever will grab attention in a saturated market, especially if they can feel personally involved. I've seen anons on /pol/ larping as secret agent investigators and using the most average banal shit, having trouble with making a post on 4chan and email taking longer than they expected to load, as undeniable evidence that they were getting too close to the truth and their personal investigative efforts shitposting on 4chan were so world-shakingly significant that "the conspiracy" was targeting them personally to desperately delay them finding the truth and bringing the whole system down.

Ok but does that make all conspiracy theories true?
If not why even bring it up?

I'm not one of those people who mistakenly believe that conspiracy theories are inherently incorrect, actual conspiracies do occur, but that doesn't justify interplanetary leaps of logic based on innuendo and fantasies of "that's just the sort of thing those dirty___ would do!"

Also if we're gonna have off-topic conversations we should at least post thread-relevant pics.

It's always been a wealth storage and movement method for rich people, same with stuff like real estate, and wine.
You undermine your point and make it seem more like stupid conspiracy bullshit by attributing it to just the chinese and perhaps some implied purposeful effort rather than just the interactions of wealth and the economy. The chinese are just more noticeable in doing it especially in certain areas because they're newer and perhaps more prone to international investment along with certain laws just making such deals easier some places. Really with a lot of this shit the chinese are just copying what they see wealthy westerners doing, wine, golf, etc, just like some in the west laud chinese business as an ideal to work towards.

It's all just systems and interactions but our human biases and imperfections cloud our objectivity.

You've retconned reality in your mind. Literally every single time you tell a "normie" that distasteful people have gotten the bright idea of working together to smear their shit on the walls, they, regardless of how reasonable it sounds and how much raw evidence you throw at them, will dismiss it off-hand as a radical conspiracy theory. What's worse is, after the conspiracy is admitted by a person of group with authority the normalfags, just like you, so "Oh, well, I always knew that." even if they, literally the day before, were calling you a nutjob.

>what is art

Art is aesthetics. What is beautiful. Art does not necessarily need to make a statement. Art is what is beautiful.

Look at real art one of those times. You know, CG artists, the good ones, the one that actually creates beautiful art. Yes, art can be horrific or disgusting, but it is always beautiful.

What are you, 12? You seem to have a very tenuous grasp on reality. The vagina monster isn't beautiful, thus it isn't art.

>>55251157
wew, it's a rerun of the "I don't like it so it's not art" episode.

I think that if I were going to do parasites, I'd go back to the "they're organs gone rogue" idea and work from there. (This was a real theory. A tapeworm, for example, was a bit of intestine that decided it wanted a little more independence.)

It is obviously impossible to run this outside an ERP, but I'm not sure you could pull it off in an ERP either, because it's less erotic than it is bizarre and disturbing.

It occurs to me that Yerka's work is pretty good for this in general.

I had an intriguing thought about this a moment ago. (Intriguing to me, anyway.)

Psychologically speaking, the best marker for conservatism we know is the comparative ease with which you can elicit a disgust response: conservatives are more easily disgusted than non-conservatives. This is probably the most robust result in the subfield of psychology which studies this stuff. Conversely, the best marker for liberalism is openness to experience, although I have a dim recollection to the effect that this attribute isn't as powerful a predictor of political affinity as the disgust response is.

The political stereotype about art is that conservatives hate avante-garde modern stuff and prefer, like, Thomas Kinkade, whereas liberals are often much more receptive to weird new ideas. This stereotype loosely matches the psychological markers for conservatism and liberalism. It feels like there might be some kind of concordance with the ideas about art presented by >>55230822

Putting political labels on that examination may be a mistake. Rather, the root causes that draw people towards conservatism or liberalism would get closer to the truth of the matter.
It also would help stem American versus European political misunderstandings where the same names are used for different things.

>>55257824
Well. Alright then.

>>55258258
That research is part of the psychological hunt for the factors that draw people to different ideologies, i.e., the search for the root causes. (And I'd bet that neither the disgust response nor the openness-to-experience measure actually constitutes a root cause— it's just that, if you're trying to identify the psychological differences between political groups, those two qualities jump out as being good predictors of political affiliation.) Unfortunately, I'm guessing very little work has been done on the root causes of preferences in art, so we can't directly search for any psychological overlap between the root causes underlying artistic preferences and those underlying political affiliation. It just occurred to me that there was a sort of echo between the stereotypes about ideological views of art and the psychological markers for ideological affinity, that's all.

>The Kola borehole penetrated about a third of the way through the Baltic continental crust, estimated to be around 35 kilometres (22 mi) deep, reaching Archaean rocks at the bottom.
>To scientists, one of the more fascinating findings to emerge from this well is that no transition from granite to basalt was found at the depth of about 7 km (4.3 mi), where the velocity of seismic waves has a discontinuity. In addition, the rock at that depth had been thoroughly fractured and was saturated with water, which was surprising....

"Mirny Diamond Mine, Siberia, Russia. The second largest excavated hole (after the Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah), the Mirny opencast mine is 525m (1722ft) deep and has a diameter of 1200m (3900ft). With the ground frozen for seven months of the year, construction of the mine and the town for its workers was difficult: car tires would burst, oil would freeze, and jet engines were needed to thaw the permafrost. Opened in1957, the opencast mine closed in 2004 due to declining yields and safety concerns. Underground mining, however, continues at Mirny."

To be honest the dominance of "modern art" is due to a mid-20th century state-subsidized artifice meant to out-compete the USSR culturally.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_and_the_Cultural_Cold_War
The "Jewish" thing is simply acknowledging the relative preponderance of Jews in popular cultural activities, regardless of the cause, but then going a step further and ascribing a malicious intent unto their critiques and displays. Whats strange is the wholesale disdain for "modern" art, despite men like Dali (who admittedly, was a competent classical artist as displayed in his many depictions of Christianity) being closet fascists (almost as interesting as Dali's expulsion from the surrealist movement for refusing to denounce Franco, one of the first instances of politically-motivated modern art). But I suppose that can be attributed to the death of futurism and similar "pure" artistic movements, but the modern resurgence of retro-futurism and such nostalgic visions among the modern far-right is interesting at least.
