Hi Dwai, You asked:
> What is it, that specific defining aspect that sets one piece of art > from another. It's effect on you, nicely described by Pirsig in Chapter 9 of Lila as: " . . . so fantastically good it just stops you in your tracks." Then he explains why it stopped you in your tracks: "The first good . . . was Dynamic Quality. Dynamic Quality comes as a sort of surprise. What the (art) did was weaken for a moment your existing static patterns in such a way that the Dynamic Quality all around you shone through. It was free, without static forms." For me, great art stuns me into a state of wondrous luminosity and frees me from my separate self sense. For a moment, all other presences are stripped away. As always, it's strictly personal -- an individual response to DQ.
