Is Corporate Video Art? Part II

Picture%20frame.jpg

If you have a moment, head on over to LinkedIn's "Answers" section where we're kicking up some dirt.

A month ago, I posed this question: Is corporate video art?

Of course, how you define art will determine your answer. To jump start the conversation and get you thinking, I copied a few art definitions from Wikipedia:

"...art is a (product of) human activity, made with the intention of stimulating the human senses as well as the human mind; by transmitting emotions and/or ideas."

"Leo Tolstoy identified art as a use of indirect means to communicate from one person to another."

"Art is something that stimulates an individual's thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or ideas through the senses. It is also an expression of an idea and it can take many different forms and serve many different purposes."

So...is corporate video art?

After reading Wikipedia's page on art, I decided to post the question again on Linkedin's "Answers" section.

You'll be totally amazed at some of the answers.

Swing on over to LinkedIn and see what the buzz is all about. If you are a member, add your own ideas.

---Tom
