WTF is ‘art’?

A lot of people tell me 'Carles, ur an artist' but I have to tell them, 'I'm not an artist. I'm a blog.'  After seeing a video of this artist broad giving a microphone a 'hummer' while wearing a slutty lil outfit, I feel like I can 'adamantly confirm' that I am not an artist. It seems like most authentic art must take place in a gallery with white walls, and there can't be 'that many' people there. It probably has to be an opening where wine is being served, and every1 must stand around and watch/feel pressure to 'get' performance artists performing their performance art.

Feel overwhelmed by 'art.' As we continue to move forward in time, there are just more&more ways 2 express yourself--more tools, more ways 2 communicate, and more metaphors to be showcased. Kinda makes u wonder what is 'art' and what is 'just being alive.' Always feel very confused about this topic. I never went to Art History class during undergrad, and actually failed because of my poor attendance. Maybe if I had attended, I would have a better eye for 'what is art' and what is 'bullshit.'

It's kinda weird how art is supposed to 'represent life', and challenge u to think about some aspect of humanity/society is 'kinda fucked up.' I am not sure why people think expression is so important. Maybe it's bc we're all afraid of dying, and we feel like if we were able to 'make people think abt life [via art]', then we will never be forgotten. If u 'never forget', then u will live forever, kinda like 9-11 (until Generation Z has kids).

I feel confused about performance art. It seems like people who 'just want attention' made by the demographic of art students who have minimal technical skills, and must 'get sensationalist.' Possibly were neglected as children. Like they didn't have good parents who discouraged them from spending 5 years getting a 'master's degree' in Art. I am not sure if I want to be a designer or an artist when I grow up. Design seems 'corporate', and art seems 'raw.' Not sure which person I want 2 be 4 the rest of my life.

Not sure how 'the internet' has changed art. It seems like u shouldn't try to make 'art' n e more, maybe we should just focus on 'designing and branding streams of memes.' I did a googsearch for 'art vs design' and this image came up. Maybe it explains everything.

Just want to 'jack off' and 'shit' on objects, but not because I want it to be 'art', but because I sincerely have the desire to 'tug off' and 'defecate' on stuff. Wish I could just 'be' without having to put everything in a box/label/genre with dumb name/ stereotype.

Just want to stand in a gallery with a group of my closest bros, buzzed, and 'snicker' while some1 'seriously performs' something that might be 'very stupid.'
