14:30 - Roman Doez

There is a line between art and craftsmanship that has to be drawn somewhere, even if both of those things are often intertwined

14:27 - Roman Doez

That's why I would call something soulless and empty like a modern COD game art, but not lines of code on their own, unless they were made with the intent of bringing out emotions.

14:26 - Chidder

Ikea manuals brings a lot of emotions. Anger, confusion...

14:24 - Roman Doez

As for technical manuals, I would not put them in the same realm as other books. For Tolstoi, art is made to generate an emotion, and I tend to agree with that definition.

14:23 - Roman Doez

@Kirinyale you make a good argument with the board game example, if video games are art then to some extent board games are art and that's a debate I don't have the answer to

14:05 - Crawltipede

That's right, art must be created by living, breathing people. Even if it's terrible, it's still human expression. As for things produced by artificial intelligence, I can only call them commodities.

13:15 - Kirinyale

Also, we forgot books. Many books are definitely art. But technical manuals probably aren't. :)
