When Blake said "Newton killed the cosmos" he wasn't exactly expressing an abiding love for science.

The term art is used to convey creative achievement in fields outside visual art, e.g. "Al Pacino is a true artist." This creates confusion when Pacino shows up at the museum wanting to know why they won't show his "performance art." (Not that this ever happened--I'll think of a better fr'instance.) In some cases, the non-artist has enough clout in his own industry to get the coveted stamp of art approval, e.g. Tim Burton. Your "conspiracy of art" line of argument is familiar to me from the Rhizome.org comment boards. Resentment about lack of inclusion in the art world is bread and butter over there. In a nutshell, the argument is "coding is an art; we are artists working in code; why won't the art world recognize us? must be because of conceitedness and complicity with wealthy collectors." As for your Mullenweg example, speaking as an artist who moved from custom software to a Word Press blog, don't even get me started about how much he doesn't understand about my field. Word Press may be great for journalists but as a non-verbal platform it's pretty constipated. Chardonnay, I didn’t say art automatically means creative greatness.
