I'm sure that if you asked any body they would eventually come to the conclusion that art is anything that produces emotional reaction,
Trolling is a art, then.
Yes, and one that far too few people are actually good at. It's such a shame that people resort to using trolling to simply mean "stating contentious statements" now. But now is not the time to reminisce about great fake arguments.
Dwarf fortress is definitely expressive and artistic. I'm not sure it's minimalist art but I'm not entirely sure what counts as minimalist art. I'm thinking of like, a painting with a few lines in a single color that might evoke say, sadness or anger through its shape. Each little thing in dwarf fortress contains a specific amount of information, and there's a lot of little things in any image. On the one hand, you can look at each animal and read its description, see what kinds of grass are growing, and check the depth of water at any given moment. On the other hand, you can see a field of grass on a hillside, with a herd of wild horses wandering around beside the river, from an image made of a few various symbols in a few different colors. But there's sooo much.
Man, I'm not even all that interested in art(or I'd be able to express my opinion more clearly) and this is still fascinating.
