duality of art

Read a random definition: amicable scire facias to revive a judgment

A quick definition of duality of art:

The duality of art refers to the idea that art can serve both a functional purpose and an aesthetic purpose. In other words, art can be both useful and beautiful. For example, a chair can be designed to be comfortable to sit in, but it can also be designed to look visually appealing. In the United States, copyright laws protect applied art only if it can be considered a standalone work of art, even if it serves a functional purpose. This approach is also known as the noncumulative approach. The opposite of the duality of art is the unity of art, which emphasizes the importance of art being solely focused on its aesthetic qualities.

A more thorough explanation:

Duality of art refers to the two-fold nature of applied art as both functional and aesthetic. This means that applied art serves a practical purpose while also being visually appealing.

For example, a chair can be considered applied art because it serves a functional purpose as a place to sit, but it can also be designed to be visually pleasing and enhance the overall aesthetic of a room. Another example is a car, which serves the practical purpose of transportation but can also be designed to be visually striking and appealing.

In terms of copyright, the United States takes a duality-of-art approach, which means that applied art is protected only when it can stand alone as an identifiable work of art, even if it did not perform the function it was designed to do.

Overall, the duality of art recognizes that art can serve both practical and aesthetic purposes, and that these two aspects can work together to create something beautiful and functional.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
