Do you also object to people paying money to have other people's art in their homes? Is the moral damage from getting an artwork in your home that you didn't create inversely proportional to your monetary investment?
- thefz 1y agoIf something else created it for you, is that your art?
- Jedd 1y agoYes in the sense of ownership, no in the sense of authorship.
- chthonicdaemon 1y agoI notice you say "something" and not "someone". With humans, contribution varies. I could commission a piece and have a great deal of input on the final result, or I could just have exercised judgement to choose the piece. Many people descibe their clothing choices or home decor choices as "creative" or "creative expression".
- vhantz 1y agoWhat exactly is creative about buying art? Nonsensical comparison, unsurprising for HN though.
