Not sure what you mean here, could you expand on this a bit more?

 I mean, even if no one understands a piece of art

I agree here with only one additional comment. There is also the 
determination of the "artist" validity i.e. can the person experiencing 
the art trust the sincerity of the artist. Cubisim comes to mind here as I 
find it hard to know if a cube drawn on a piece of canvass because that 
was the style at the time expresses the intent to produce art or is just a 
bandwagon product. Or, one could look at this as the old " give the 
audience what they want " tactic, which I'm not so sure really constitutes 
art.

Do all Live Loopers agree with this statement? Or rather understatement?
