2. The definition of Art
 By "art," let’s say we mean the products of the
traditional, professionalized art world, a privileged class of
esthetic objects set apart from ordinary communicative
acts, authored by a special person called an artist.
 "SOCIAL MEDIA ART" IN THE EXPANDED FIELD by
Ben Davis
 At its most basic sense, social media represent a shift in how
people discover, read and share news, information and
content. Social media have become extremely popular
because they allow people to connect in the online world to
form relationships for personal, political and business use.

Master di Monica Lombardi
