sorry, this isn't "art" because it actually conveys information. art has to be useless.

I cannot tell if this is /s or real. there is an entire genre of art that specifically about functionality - functional art. Chairs, tables, buildings, vases, textile, and so on can be beautiful art yet functional.
Sheesh, this makes me realize how boring "modern" interiors are, even though 3d printing makes means this is now much easier.
What an artful comment.
This is the worst take on “it’s not art” I’ve ever read. You can look through any art history textbook and it’s filled to the brim with classic art that convey lots of information.
