15:09 - Kirinyale

Then again, there are coder competitions to fit all manner of crazy things into as little code as possible (see demoscene).

15:08 - Kirinyale

And yeah, I can assure you that lines of code can bring out all sorts of emotion, too. :) Although one has to have lots of prior and contextual knowledge to understand them, so if it's art, it's a very niche kind of art.

15:03 - Kirinyale

As for board games - it isn't simple either. A chess set (board + carved and/or decorated pieces) can very well be art on its own. The game itself? I don't know, nowadays it's even called sports. I'm sure many think it's art too.

15:01 - Kirinyale

Something created with the intent of calling it "art" probably is. Although it might be bad art if nobody other than the author sees it as such. Something created without such intent can still be art if a lot of people thinks so.

15:00 - Kirinyale

I don't think there's a universal definition of art anywhere (even wikipedia has different ones in different languages). In the end, I guess, the art is whatever we think it is.

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.
