I'm not sure what art is anymore. The term has been so used, misused, and widely applied that it's lost all sense of meaning to me. As a result, I tend not to concern myself with definitions and take a very subjective approach. It seems sort of pointless to argue over a label when it's so plain that everything in the various "arts" can greatly affect people. Painting, photography, sculpture, film & video, writing, dance, the other arts, and even the re-contextualization of objects or people can make us feel things, communicate information, and teach us. If they can do this - either intentionally or unintentionally - they are worthwhile endeavors.
