	Internet art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quoting a definition by Steve Dietz, former curator in new media at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis: Internet art projects are art projects for which the Net is both a sufficient and necessary condition of viewing/expressing/participating.
		Internet art is also historically related to the interdisciplinary field of technology-centered or electronic art which has developed since the 1970s in research institutes and specialized art centers throughout Europe, Japan and the United States - outside the regular, "non-technological" museum and gallery circuit.
		Art in and around computer networks has a much older history though, which can be traced back to the early 1980s, and back to the late 1960s and the "Software" show at the Jewish Museum New York.

	Why We Need a Definition of Art (Aristos, December 2004)
		Art cannot be defined, they say, because the things we have called art do not all have a distinctive feature in common.
		I took the view that if a true definition of art were not possible it would still be absolutely essential that instructors employ an "honorific" definition of some sort in their teaching.
		As I explained, an honorific definition of art (as Weitz noted) treats the concept of a work of art as if it were closed, by restricting it to paradigmatic examples, that is, to those objects whose status as works of art has long been agreed upon.

	THE EVOLUTION, HISTORY AND DEFINITION OF FINE ART
		When critics of art discuss the subjects of art, they generally do not talk how clever the artist is, how he has copied nature or imitated her, nor even how nearer to nature the colours in a painting are.
		Art is therefore not a quality of things, but an activity of man. Beautiful lines in a drawing, or beautiful colours in painting or beautiful shapes in a piece of sculpture, are not at all ART.
		Art gives peace and vitality to the human mind and soul; and as children are to women of whom they are born, so is art to its creator, the artistic genius.

	Expository Definition Essays - Definition Essay — Defining Art
		Art and perception are deeply interrelated, since our ability to experience and comprehend artistic works is strongly biased by our own perceptions.
		Hence, in my opinion it is impossible to create an objective definition of art, if art is something that each person perceives and experiences in a wholly subjective manner.
		I believe art is based on the fact that people, through their own perceptions, can experience the same thoughts or feelings as the artist.

		They are paired in this art work with vague questionnaires on issues that may be difficult, although we can't read the questionnaires as they are here presented.
		I think that much of the difficulty with conceptual art, at least for me, is that people like Joseph Beuys were so angry about the distortion of art as a commodity that they were determined that one should have to think, without realizing that many of us have not been exposed to the same concepts.

	WebMuseum: Pop Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

	Outsider Art
		I have come to use the phrase Outsider Art to refer to the creative work of artists who are self-taught and/or those who, for a variety of reasons, are what I consider fortunately impervious to being taught how to make art.
		The term Outsider Art is not always welcomed by all of the artists to whom it refers, nor do all collectors, dealers and protectors of the artists always like the term Outsider Art.
		I think it is due to the fact that to participate in the Fine Art circuit is to be conversant with and to care about the issues and visual language of that particular audience.

		Consider the shimmering colours on the wings of the fragile butterfly; the petals of a rose and the ubiquitous orchid.
		So when we really want to fix a satisfactory definition of the word "Art", we can become embroiled in all kinds of intellectual, moral, spiritual, psychological and emotional debate without arriving at a mutually agreeable answer.
		You will find that 'Art' is simply one of those things that cannot bear exact definition.
