the point of the "literal toilet" stuff is that there's no universal consensus on what is or isnt art, and the best way to express this is to sell a toilet to some rich dumbass for 1000000000 dollars

The floor was a mirror reflecting in reverse the parable of the ceiling. The same vandal-possibly Gaben-had painted on it in red letters: GAMES ARE LAME. This is a deep cut but if anyone appreciates the reference it will be well worth the effort.

Of course videogames are art, they are a form of expression in the way any piece of music or film or even some moments in sport can be called art. Art is such a broad and useless term though

in the video game version you can buy a DLC that replaces the banana with a plantain for $5. you can also unlock the golden tape by opening at least 200 $1.75 "banana crates"

In the art biz "fart" is just a contraction of "fine art".

No, Im not saying video games do not contain art, but it is not high quality art and as such the cognitive and emotional experiences had while playing video games are not of a high quality either.

Ah yes, unlike the hilariously vague example you gave "books" Tell me, which is better art, Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey? It's almost like you're silently comparing standard triple A video games with classic literature while disingenuously pretending most popular books aren't also dreck.
