I made a couple of items for the workshop today. One was an argument for putting Pineapples on everything, but I prompted for a more extreme argument.
I didn't get a chance to show the outcome - it did not disappoint!

What is art? Outcome, experience, intent perhaps?
I once believed it was subject to certain criteria or standard, not something that could be easily applied to any expression. My perspective has shifted with time. It's not just a matter of producing physical pieces or works of awe, it is capturing the abstract, crystallizing it into a form that may be perceived, felt.
With intent - a sandwich can be art, as with code, playing a game with a certain intent, anything in which an individual has purposefully interfaced with the physical world, attempting to sculpt the ethereal into something recognizable. Or perhaps this is just personal expression, or soul - these are synonymous in my view with art.
Art is subjective, but I view it as an expression of one's soul.
This is why I enjoy the nostr protocol in many ways; it is a form of artistic expression as well. With each interaction, each event, a unique identity is sculpted - a shape, a soul that can only represent you. This shape is immutable and self-dictated, able to manifest in any location you desire.
I've felt inspired to find ways to expand this expression, building applications and tools to further foster its growth. I hope this tree yet continues to bear us fruit, but I digress.
This isn't a directed thought, more so a ramble; I thank you for reading nonetheless. It's an exciting age, I'm happy and thankful to have a plethora of mediums to conjure these thoughts into. 🙂
