Greetings Leif,

Welcome, your voice is gladly received, and understood.

When you say, "art is a term used for reaching towards dynamic quality, or
rather presenting dynamic quality in the static. It is ways of letting the
observer percieve fractions of the dynamic", followed by what I consider
exactly what I've been trying to say:

"Mozart is art  because it helps us percieve "the value experience", the 
"betterness" compared to ie otherr music with lower dynamic quality in it 
(typical your average pop tune, the dynamic quality is no longer to be seen,
only stable patterns remains) But without the supporting stable social (and
biological I would recon) patterns supporting it, it will not be percieved as
art. I would recon that there are alot of cultures that would percieve mozart
as Platt percieves farting."

I think we are in complete agreement. Escpecially when you end, "Supporting
vlauepatterns creates a "point of view" where one can percieve/ experience the
art (or quality) in both Mozart and digiderooing."

Which is what, I think, I have been saying all along. Or trying to. Maybe even
in your second (or third?) tongue you express this better than I have.

Where do you come to use from, Leif? From your name I'd venture either Denmark
or Norway? Iceland?? 

Arlo
