Another attempt to strictly define art as a concept and set boundaries for the work of others. Debord and Wolman may try hard to maintain that they are defying such definitions, but suggesting that previous works and styles are "out-of-date," and therefore no longer hold any merit, is just as elitest as the suggestion that classical art is somehow a more legitimate artform by virtue of its acceptance by establishment propagandists.
Just create something, anything.
If you say it is art, then it is art.
Other people don't have to like it; other people don't have to agree.
But this need to generalize the drawing of strict definitions for what is and what is not acceptable as a work of "art" is ridiculous.
