In this endless need of power and victory our terminator serial number
S888Wheel (it comes after the S887Wheel and obviously before the
S889Wheel) has answered that to a Pinkerton's post on RAHE :

"That is an interesting perspective you have on art. It is clearly

wrong
but interesting. There are objective standards in art. They may not be
as cut and dry as they are in engineering but the exist. That doesn't
mean there is anything wrong with someone liking bad art. Objective
standards in art exist independent of taste."

Immediatly after its post I have done the following answer which has
been, obviously, censured without explanation by the RAHE's frigid

great
Inquisitor :

"Please, tell us more about *these objective standards*.
What is bad art ? How can art be bad ?
For myself I pretend that art hopefully escapes to all standards and
belongs to irrational."


It was rejected because it's off topic. IOW not about audio.


It wasn't rejected. it is being discussed on RAHE



The only objective definition I ever read concerning art goes as follows:
Art is a selective recreation of reality, according to the artist's value
judgments.


The issue wasn't an objective definition. The issue was whether or not
objective standards exist in art or if it is all just a matter of taste.

It's
ridiculous issue. There are objective standards in art.



The definition I gave you is the only objective thing one can say about art.

What constitutes good or bad art varies from culture to culture and from
person to person..
