is all content art?
is all art content?

If it’s on a social media feed, it’s content.
If it’s in a museum, it’s art.

I wish we can find a better word than "content". 

I don't want to be content(d). I want to be in love with the stuff I see. Like when I see art. Or hear music. 

I don' think stuff for the feed is necessarily art. I think art goes a lil deeper and I also hate how the feed forces everything into the same lil box. Like Art is also experienced in context, often it lives from it.

Yes I completely agree that you  can find art outside of museums or galleroes. I found street art to be such a case.

Quality doesn't have anything to do with my distinction. There is beautiful, soul-stirring, life-changing work that appears on social feeds; and plenty of boring, low-effort, derivative work in museums.

We seem to have this cultural idea that "art" = high quality (or something that deserves to be on a pedestal). But I wanted to challenge that notion by assigning definitions to where the piece is consumed without any indication of the type, quality, or (pun intended) content of the piece itself.
