Cory Arcangel: Super-Mario Clouds, 2002
Mario cloud is a kind of art. According to Adams, art has content and can express idea. It is also aesthetic. Mario cloud indeed has content, is actual creative and original image. I think Mario cloud can bring people imagination. Mario cloud reflects the culture of video game. Once people see Mario cloud, they can associate the Mario games. Or some may associate their childhood when seeing the Mario cloud because it is familiar to the game players.
Athena's view about Adam's defination of art.
Adam claims that art is aesthetic and must have content.It can express idea and feeling of the artist. Besides, art is not formulaic and shoulld be durablle, which can last long.
Athena does not agree with Adam at all. She says art may not be aesthetic because the defination of aesthetics of different people are diverse. Art is not a stuff that is only allow people who have been trained to know it or creat it. I agree with her because aesthetics seems a complex concept and study. So, it violates the nature of art, that is, art is universal and everyone can understand.
it would be nice to hear your detailed explanation of why Super Mario Clouds is an art. You may visit other classmates' blogs to see how they develop a well structured argument.
