Googling got me nowhere, so I have to do my own essay: <art critic mode>
*Abstract* is form that is not a representation of something, but just pure
form. *Conceptual* art is where one does not have to draw, or make, or
whatever, the art object, but just has to get across the idea of how to make
it (sort of code?). Most conceptual art that I've seen is also *minimalist*,
like lots of dots and such. Not particularly impressive. I would say this
slash piece is also minimalist, if I did not think of one-line ASCII and
Nerd Boy as *minimalist* already. </art critic>
