[Sigia-l] Why "design" makes some of us cringe.

[David Heller]

Ok, I see we are going to get nowhere unless we bring this to its most
basic level ... So here is my attempt.

Can we agree to the following statement?

"'art' is NOT equal to 'design'" 

Can I use these two words interchangeably in all aspects of their
meanings?

If so ... Ok, that's an answer. Lets move on to doing our work of
art/design and move on, or discuss whether or not our work is actually
art/design.

If not ... How do they differ? Where does "art=design" breaks down?
