Didn't we discuss this before?

I'll bring up the 'Dada' movement.

Signed Urinal = Art!

I think you meant "Signed Urinal != Art". My feelings towards Duchamp are probably comparable to Warlord's feelings towards Rothko (a bit meh, in my opinion). In contrast, I actually really like a few of Man Ray's pieces.

As for the images in the link... well, they certainly do look a lot like holiday snaps. Also, "Exquisite Corpse" sounds like some 14-year-old pseudo-goth girl's livejournal handle. Also, none of the photographs are really very good examples of technical brilliance or interesting subject matter.
Perhaps yes, this is somebody expressing themselves artistically. Certainly no, this is not "art".

As a dude going to art school, these need more polish.

The still from the fifth one - with the feet in the mud - could be a good piece of photo art. Except when you click on it it's some random video sequence of bullshit, etc.

Marcus Rothko painted canvasses solid black and called it a religious experience. He got acclaim and recognition as an artist, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to dig up his corpse and grind his bones into a fine powder.

Now now, this is dwarf fortress, if you are going to do something with bones then it had better involve building a weapon with which to kill the rest of their species...

Not quite; this is Bay 12, and there are certainly a few other things you can do with bones in, e.g., No More Stumpy Wumples (my current "high score" is 87, what's yours?)

Sorry, my bad.

Sorry, my bad.

It's cool, I was only joking; but there other applications of bone in Bay 12 Games (games), not only in Stumpy Wumples, but as bonemeal in DF (sort-of, it not having yet been implemented).

How could you kill Stumpy Wumples?  They're sooo cute!

[soup_alex]

You see, I don't know if that's just another joke: I actually think they look quite grotesque, even sinister at times.

In answer to your question, though: because sometimes, I just can't help myself.

... you cannot however take a fantastic one with a cell phone camera, ... .

That's not entirely accurate. That may have been the case a few years ago, but my SO's cell takes great pictures. I've taken some great photos with a cheap $10 digital camera. It was one you have absolutely no control over and it had a max resolution of 800x600.
