What is art?

This is a question I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. Why is important, and why do we care? 

I’m not a pessimist, like Rousseau: he talks about societies that develop the arts and sciences leads to corruption and moral degradation; when we can really just survive on the bare necessities, right?

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

Why do we feel the urge to express? 
To find ways to communicate ideas? 
Why don’t we run out of things to say 
And what about ways to say them? 
Who said that art has to be a certain way?
Why do you care so much?
Why not just not care?

nah, a number of people don't feel the urge to express, don't need find ways to communicate ideas, have nothing to say or no ways to say them, and say don't care but complain about art

Having nothing to say but complain about art sounds like they have something to say but they aren’t wanting to say it or communicate it - I find it hard to think that one would not have any point of view whatsoever
