In Alex's most recent post, he writes:
..."to have an objective view to which we can all agree on the truth that it lays out for us to which we can begin our subjective dismantling of it as a whole.
If the entirety of art can be categorized into similarities in the same fashion that programs such as "pandora" or "genius" lay out music, then we would have a basis to which we can display our different taste and interests in art. What one person considers art does not necessarily need to agree with anyone else's in this layout..."
While I agree that we must consider both the collective objective view AND the subjective taste when considering the value of a piece of art, I am reluctant to accept the proposition that what one person considers art does not need to agree with another's simply because of taste differences. I still think that a concrete objective standard should be decided upon regardless of taste. Just because someone doesn't like something, doesn't mean that they should not be able to appreciate its classification as art (ie: a classical pianist should not deny the art of Lady Gaga's music even though he would prefer Mozart).
