I think that something being pretty DOES have message though -- it's expressing beauty or conveying an emotion that the artist felt. I don't think that art having a message or a meaning means it needs to be deeply symbolic or esoteric. But I do think it needs to be trying to convey SOMETHING.

But really, I use the definition I use because I find that video games are too often dismissed in the realm of art. There are people who will say Transformers is art more readily than something like Spec Ops and I don't think that's fair. Transformers is fun, it's entertaining, but I'd say it's got more in common with a roller coaster than a piece of art. In my opinion, at least.

But a roller coaster is created for the purpose of giving someone a physical thrill. (Though they *are* sometimes nice to look at.) Transformers has visual, musical, and story components; even if you think it's not deep enough, it's still art. And what else does "have to mean something" mean if not depth? Like a person might create something on a whim and go "well that looks nice" but they weren't necessarily creating it with the intent of expressing beauty. Or, well, let me put it this way - if a person sold paintings that they didn't particularly find pretty or enjoy making, are they not still art? Even if someone who buys them thinks they're pretty?

It's still human expression.
