Of course art isnt 'pure creation' ( whatever THAT might mean ). Read
Kenneth Clarke  "the Nude", or any decent piece of historical criticism.
Most artists dont even use a new medium, which is just as well or we would
have run out of media long ago.
After reading  Jay Webers complaint about space in AIList being wasted on
LISP, let me back him up by suggesting that space not also be wasted on
sub-undergraduate amateur pseudo-philosophy.  Severely editing anything from
Gordon Joly might be a good way to start.
