And entertainment. Basically if it costs money to produce and is used for leisure, it doesnt exist.

Internet and forums still exist

I just want to restore this world back to the natural. Bring order to this broken reality. To the way it should have been, all those many years ago.

no, art is an inherent part of free speech, which is a value deserving of protection, regardless what @Mods think.

For leisure, people could learn how to weld for free or pick up engine repair. Basically maximum utility. Socializing would still exist...

If I point at a house and say it constitutes as art, will it be demolished?

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

Fantastic! I can destroy anything I like by noting their artistic merits, regardless of how simple it is.
A nice vista can be art.
A single line can be art.
A human form can be art.
A person I don't like can be art.
Reality itself can be art!

Explore your own talents, bud. Even if you feel you don't have any. This idea of even considering living in a world without artistic expression makes me want to start drinking heavily. This cannot be good for you.

There can be beauty in utilitarism. Therefore, even the most drab, uninteresting, non-descript, identiity-less door frame from a Soviet Russian apartmen block can be considered art.
Art is, quite literally, everywhere. Just because you cannot see it doesn't mean no one can.

There still would be no humans left to live with that hypothetical reality. Suicide would be extremely popular.
