The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not.
Games aren't going to go away. BAFTA's got a category for games as an art form. The Academy should think about that, too.
I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art.

Narcissism and the Confederate dead cannot be connected logically, or even historically; even were the connection an historical fact, they would not stand connected as art, for no one experiences raw history.

Advertising is the art of the tiny. You have to tell a complete a story and deliver a complete message in a very encapsulated form. It disciplines you to cut away extraneous information.
