okay. you get an old tv set. and you set it in a glass box that is half full of red liquid.
there's nothing creative or different about how you fill the box with red liquid, but it's appears that the tv is drowning in blood.
what makes it art is that what the artist is trying to portray.
or in a painting for example... the fact that you painted the red background before the green foreground doesn't mean shit to who's looking at it. it's what you think when you see the entire thing. this is why art is a finished project, not a work in progress.
