Is It Art?

been a few days since I reported some /. news, and I wouldn't want you all to worry, so here's the latest thing I found:

Some artsy lady is taking old PC's and making "art" out of them. I put arts in quotes because really all she's doing is stacking them creatively, but nevertheless the one she calls 'Firewall' is actually spiffy to look at, as is the arch of monitors.

    about as artistic as a stack of coins sold as 'art' ...

    well if you stacked the coins artfully, and used pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters...maybe the occasional gold dollar....i'd call that art.

    Was I the only person reminded of Stargate when they looked at the arch?

    The firewall reminds me of NS. Random computer monitors everywhere.

    I thought it was quite cleverly done, not what i would call art though.

    tbh one persons art is another persons rubbish <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
