A Treatise on Art

True, this is a blog about pop culture. But it is also a blog about ART. Yeah, ART, the lifeblood coursing through humanity's veins, tying us to our past and to our future, bridging the language divide, inspiring the masses! British philosopher (and sexpot) Richard Wollheim describes art as "one of the most elusive of the traditional problems of human culture," and source-of-all-knowledge Wikipedia calls it "a vehicle for the expression or communication of emotions and ideas, a means for exploring and appreciating formal elements for their own sake, and as mimesis or representation." Yes friends, art has alternately confused, aggravated, inspired, surprised, comforted and (insert appropriate adjective here) mankind since the first piece of charcoal was used on a cave wall.

With this in mind I bring to you the next stage in Art-volution! The TWEET MUSEUM, where, with the help of artist Odessa Begay, your favorite celebrity tweet can also become your computer desktop. Yes, friends! Let's paint a glorious visual representation of that celebrity tweet! Let's glorify that typo with a depiction of what it could have meant were it not a typo! Let's make ART HAPPEN HERE TONIGHT.

(Editor's note: Though we can appreciate the value of modern art it is important always to remember it's roots in the classical art forms. Namely, the animated GIF.)
