Who is to say what is or is not art? Nowadays, the word art seems to be thrown around a lot. Back in the days, there were rules to what is considered art, but thanks to artists’ like Duchamp and his upside down urinal, art has changed. Because he said it was art, it was art. Same thing today; art can be all kinds of things and each person will view art differently.
I believe an app is an art of its own. To create an app, a lot of creativity, work, and time is put into it. If the app “Instagram” is considered art, then why would Edward Burtynsky’s 218 page book not be consider an art? The only difference is that it is in an app form and not in the physical form. However, it is still in a digital form and with technology developing more and more each day, I think more and more things will become digital.
