If art's about making you feel something, she's got you folks absolutely pinned. It's fucking brilliant.

So if art is about making people feel something, then I suppose "snuff" films and kid porn and films showing RL rape would also be "art"?

Really?

Or maybe "art" is in the eye of the beholder, in which case I'm not so sure I'd be running around acting all amused and superior at people who don't think something like defacing public property falls under the heading of "art".
