Who dares to give a definition?

I believe that any debate should result in the result. Otherwise why do they behave?
 

What is more arrogant than me, may dare to undertake such a definition?

Thinking about sore, I somehow found myself for a definition of what is real iskusstvom.Srazu also anticipating the possible charges in the complete absence of my relevant theme of education and a diploma, yet I beg to draw attention to the footnote "From the Editor ...". However, in some areas of contemporary conceptual art, I have profiled diploma (see below).
So, after disputes with friends and acquaintances on the modern (and not only) of art, I was able to find a perfect definition of art that has nothing to do with stereotypes, education and science, ideology, nationality, level of artistic training, etc. and etc.. This definition is purely scientific. I would even say, an engineer, in full accordance with my education:

For me, art is what I am under no circumstances I can not repeat itself.

Even if I learn a hundred years, even if I give the most sophisticated equipment and instruments, even if I offer any, millions and billions. Art does not depend on technology and skill of the artist. I have often observed, when even the artist himself is unable to repeat the picture painted in a specific time under the influence of mood, emotion or inspiration. Soul, in short.

I'm not an artist, I like that joke from the Chukchi: "Chukchi not the reader, Chukchi - a writer." I - Collector. But I can not quite put together the installation itself or to draw a blue monochrome. I can not completely screwed to the wall and connect multiple fluorescent lamps, as was done in the Pushkin Museum in the exhibition "300 years of American Flag. Art "(2007) unknown to me an electrician. Incidentally, I myself am an electrician diploma, issued in the Soviet Union, so that in this, believe me, I'm a good specialist. Once in the workshop of one artist, I drew his attention to the set of all kinds of lamps and bulbs, which he clocked at the ceiling to provide proper light in the long winter evenings. Along with spectacular piece of the old, artistically curved plate, it gave the impression of a far more spectacular than what I saw then in the Pushkin Museum. But nobody in their right mind came into our heads to call it art.

See the book:
Museum of Modern iskusstva.Nyu York. 2005 WORD

And ask yourself questions:

1) Can you repeat a bunch of wires and bulbs, as I did on page 281 Rodi Graumans? Incidentally, he is my age, but I no longer winding up the wire for the money, and earn a living exclusively own mind.

2) Is it possible to endlessly produce on a conveyor SMART automobiles, as on page 291?

3) Can I use the screwdriver to attach to a wall shelf, as it did on page 274, Robert Ryman?

4) Can we again expanded corrugated board, as it did on page 275, Frank O., Jerry?

5) Can I also "highly artistic" hang on the wall felt like it did on page 255, Robert Morris?

If you have positive answers to these questions, then ask yourself one more - then what is this American Flag. "Art". And if he should emulate?
You should not confuse art and design. The picture and poster. Graphs and photos. Soul and the free market.
