David, you asked,

> well, .... is art intellectual or social?

Yes.

Notwithstanding the evolution of the word art itself (craft,
technique, any word with "rt" in it basically, etc - Pirsig expends
many words on this.)

But even art (for art's sake, and art to express and communicate some
specific emotions or thoughts) involves patterns from both extremes
- created within accepted styles / conventions / media (social)
- created to push free of those bounds - either primarily or as well
as the other communication objectives (intellectual)

As soon as we document, analyse, codify those artistic patterns we
move even the expressive / participatory forms in to the intellectual
level. But at root, the art itself can be largely social, and often
is.
