Internet Art - Chapter 4

There is no firm definition of art thus far - the mention of the first person to sell their old socks on Ebay doesn't seem like art to me. Additionally, the person selling their "blackness" does not seem like a work of art rather a statement. Setting cameras up for surveillance is not a means to create art either, hoping you catch something good. You could simply look outside your window and proclaim what you're viewing is art. Simply because the surveillance is displayed in a museum does not qualify it as art. I've seen commercialized art fail to reach so-called artist's standards of definition, yet they accept certain oddities simply for their quizzical nature it seems.
