sobriqueA question that has preoccupied mankind is "what is art?" It's not an easy one, but it mostly boils down to provoking a response - maybe an emotional reaction to something, or maybe it's just a question as to what the artist was trying to say.
So in many ways, you could call an abstract question itself a form of art - my making you think about what the word means to you, am I not creating art?
And so comes the finest forms of art being the ones that really resonate strongly, and provoke strong emotions. Unfortunately when carried in a textual medium, that can be referred to as trolling.
So just think, next time you line up to flame a troll, that that might just be art.
