An old inquiry from the WAVE - still open.
(From A.R.)
What does it mean to be an artist?
Is it an artifact of lifestyle? Perception? Is it an artifact of the artifacts of your lifestyle borne by your perception? Is it a self-claimed identity (who decides who an artist is)?
If you are not an artist, why not? Who is? Why?
Is dance art? Are dancers artists? How do engineers and scientists fit into this? Are we making artists - why or why not? (@WPI? @SDC?)
How is art different from life? How is being an artist different from breathing?
And where does money fit into all of this?
I haven't found the answer..., it's much more interesting to just think about this question
