well, mathematics is some artform as well, or not ? At least, this is what my maths high school teacher once told us in class (the art to proof things, instead of the science of doing experiments, the boundaries might not be so clearcut however ).
When starting the question: What is art ? I would say art is related to different forms of expression in general. In particular, if one "looks" at music, there would be a horizontal and a vertical component in it, time and pitch/frequency (which is also some time element... but it engages different direction of movement then the rythmic/horizontal one). Last, personally, I am very much interested in transformations of expressions. this is what might happen in classical music, some moments of joy, some moments of depressions, and sometimes happy endings, sometimes tragical endings. for sure, there is a connection between art and emotions. might it be related to (sub-)concious programming agents in our brain ? .... sorry if unclear.... but above areas made me interested to join your mailing list. --- Creighton Hogg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb: > On 2/27/07, alex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > Hi, > > > > We have 18 members from the posting to > haskell-cafe, a comfortable > > number.
