David, you asked, > well, .... is art intellectual or social?
Yes. Notwithstanding the evolution of the word art itself (craft, technique, any word with "rt" in it basically, etc - Pirsig expends many words on this.) But even art (for art's sake, and art to express and communicate some specific emotions or thoughts) involves patterns from both extremes - created within accepted styles / conventions / media (social) - created to push free of those bounds - either primarily or as well as the other communication objectives (intellectual) As soon as we document, analyse, codify those artistic patterns we move even the expressive / participatory forms in to the intellectual level. But at root, the art itself can be largely social, and often is.
