I didn't explained myself well then.
My point is that, in my opinion, there is no progress in art exactly for the reason you have just given that there is no objective "better" to measure progress with.
About TV..., if you are talking about TV shows I wouldn't consider them art at all.
- Gimpson 17y agoI'd argue that there was more interesting video content being produced for TV in the last ten years than movies. (Maybe you don't consider movies art either...) I'll put The Wire up against any movie in the last ten years.
- joshuakb 17y agoThe wire is also the only show I know of that moves slowly enough to tell an interesting story. I would put the wire up against anything period.

- jerf 17y ago"if you are talking about TV shows I wouldn't consider them art at all." Also tautological depending on your definition of "art". The definition I favor doesn't disqualify something for the medium it is in, but it certainly isn't the only relevant definition.
- LucaDuval 17y agoEvery time somebody express an opinion somebody else can call it a tautology if he decides that the speaker is willing to tweak the definition as he likes. To point it out is pleonastic. The following sentence is tautological. The previous sentence is tautological and pleonastic.
- jerf 17y agoI am sensitized to it on the issue of art. The word is in the class of words that are content free and should never be used without at least some cursory stab at which of the virtually infinite definitions you actually mean. "TV isn't art" carries a lot of connotation, but no actual denotation. I object to just lobbing the connotation into a conversation and acting as if something has actually been established.
