Armando, I mentioned the unintentional errors and the artist choosing to publish them or leave them in. The "likeminded or not" assumption leads to extreme subjectivism, only liking the artists with whom you are already instantaneously likeminded, without making an effort to understand what they're up to and why. It's the polar opposite of how I experience artworks, and the very reason I started to think about this stuff in the first place.
Cheerskep, one more thing - what if, to correct my terminology, we say that there are two types of aesthetic pleasure: sensual and artistic? Sensual pleasure may be derived from anything, including the material qualities of artworks (colours, sounds, etc.). Artistic pleasure is derived from the intentions and choices of the artist and all that stuff I've been babbling about. Or does the whole idea of differentiating these two seem ungrounded in experience? (I think the drama on the sporting field is very much artistic pleasure, I mean we can easily conceive of sports as a type of theatre)
