Question:

What is the meaning of "art"?

what is art? should alien archeologist dig up the traces of 21st century human civilization 1000 years from now, what would they call 'human art?' washing machines & toasters? bronze sculptures or garden tools? does art exist without social context? without some type of hermeneutic to interpret it and impose meaning upon it?
