Art is in the eye, the ear, the mind of the beholder, is it not!

Fucking hell, I've missed yer poems. This piece has a bold and philosophical ambition that I fucking respect. The Baudelaire epigraph especially sets the tone and a genuinely interesting tension to the whole piece. How do we define art? Who gets to make it? Is originality even possible?

That part about the parrot is provocative and perfectly placed. It pushed me, as the reader, to confront my assumptions about art.

The brevity of the poems works well. However, I think it also leaves some of the piece's most compelling ideas underdeveloped. "Every word is a remix in expression" is such a strong line but it kinda just appears. It doesn't arrive with enough surrounding texture to fully land.

Also, the opening 1,2,3 punch of man, machine and beast feels more like a list than an integrated gesture while the final line: "Art is story transcending medium" reads as a hurried conclusion that hasn't quite been earned by what precedes it.

However, that's your style and I appreciate it. You are clearly wrestling with big ideas and I, for one, think that's exciting. I would just gently urge you to give those ideas a bit more room to breathe which could create a sharper and more thought-provoking poem.

I am not sure what you think of photography, I think you consider it a minor art?
