The process of life as art? I guess it would qualify as all else as art, a function of the mind to create meaning from chaos. However I am hesitent to call life and death art, these are subjects you make art of, they do not gain meaning in their lonesome. Now beauty can be seen in it and that can inspire people to act and then create art.
Art is very much a social structure yet we assign it to things that were not built or shaped by our own hands, though I don't have much more to add at this point.
Capital "A", Art is already one of the worse rabbit hole subjects that goes beyond philosophical base musing.

What did the film makers intend.
They intend to invoke change.
First they show the permanence of earth and how slow and grand it is.
The film contrasts this with the accelerated film speed while showing people. Though this seems to be limited to cities.
Also it was pretty clear very few factories let them inside to film, having by majority meat packaging lines.
The film wants to invoke change but the slow editing is by majority painfully slow. The old 80s film making felt clearly old. It also came off as condescending to me, but I don't live in the city which seems to be the topic focused on.
Also Ludism themes but...yeah.

Appears to be on the first chapter of desert solitaire.
The persona preseted in the material read so far is of a person who cares about nature over anything else. Which unfortunately I don't think is that virtuous. Respect of the indifferent provider that is the earth is important for the long game of human survival.
The impression provided by the book feels of something I adamantly hate. The concept of humans being unnatural on earth. This is extremely destructive for all people involved and creates a stark "This vs them" situation. This is frustrating to me because human adaption to the earth is the ability to work the land beyond a burrow in the dirt.
