Art, not art?

1. Kaprow aimed for paradox, for making an artwork
which was not an artwork. When Kaprow brushed his
teeth, is this art or life? Does Kaprow succeed or fail?
I think Kaprow brushing his teeth every day is life. Art is understood to be some sort of visual experience. Although the theories, paradoxes, and ideas that Kaprow had are very interesting, I do not view the act of brushing his teeth, undocumented, as art. At the same time, I do not think that his claim to have created "tooth brushing art" is irrelevant or stupid. It brings up important questions about the nature and audience of art. But without an audience, or even intended audience it is not art.

2. What activities do you do in “nonconscious” ways?
What would change if you noticed them and document-
ed them? How do these activities relate to the passage of
time?
I eat in a nonconscious way. I talk to people. I sleep. I walk, breath, chew, and think in nonconscious ways. I always find that when I think about eating, or breathing, or any of those things one does naturally I start to get really awkward and mechanical about it. I don't know how it would be if I thought about speaking...Well, breathing we do all the time, so there isn't much of a way to document the passage of time that way. Eating breaks my day into thirds by meal. Sleep breaks my week down into days, and occasionally mornings and afternoons if I nap.
