RE: Let's ARGUE! // IS A DJ CONSIDERED AN ARTIST? IS DJing an ART?
A really short, but effective question. I do think a DJ is an artist. For a DJ it is the art to create a good vibe in the room, to create a set that will bring the people in the room from A to Z, get them to really enjoy, and I mean, enjoy the music, not each other. There are so many DJs around, and a lot of them think they can create a great set, but there are not so many that can create a great set, almost every time when they play IMHO. Being a DJ is therefore definitely an ART.
Hmmm....Well why not is it just a skill, though? In perhaps which one can just be "very skilled"?...
Good question. In anology, you could then argue if a painter is an artist, or a scilpturer is an artist. The activities are in the end also a skill. A good DJ creates something unique; He/She doesn't just play recorded music, but creates something new, every performance.
