These days, 'art' is an almost meaningless term, since it has to include this: http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/creed-work-no-233-p78388

The work’s irreverent message appears discreet due to its small size and almost apologetic lower-case lettering; the blank expanse of the rest of the page, however, gives the words disproportionate weight and presence. This simultaneously self-effacing and assertive quality is typical of Creed’s work. I don't know where to begin. If I didn't know any better I'd think this was a parody.

The 4th byte is thrown away... You could use it as alpha channel? Or CMYK color.

Considered it, but CMYK only go up to 100 in value - alpha channel could be an option though...

Being depressed by this is a bit like being depressed by pop because you think only classical music is music. He's not stopping anyone from doing better art. I wouldn't be into his art particularly but neither am I into the sort of paintings you see in national galleries either. Really it wouldn't surprise me if he turned around one day and said the whole thing was a big joke. He practically does just that here: http…

The question is, how do you get the the point in your career where you can put stuff like this and people laud it? If I went to a gallery and offered this up I'd obviously be laughed out of the place.
