>Art is about pushing limits of what's possible

That's engineering, if that.

Art isn't, and has never been about that.

Sure it has. See the modernism as a whole.

  • Modernism wasn't about "pushing limits of what's possible" either. It was first and foremost a period style itself. That style included experimentation and "pushing some limits" but art in general wasn't that, then, before or after (which is also why those limits went right back, and literature for example returned to far more classical forms after modernism's era passed - it didn't kept pushing at limits).
