No. We’d like to think there’s that ineffable “something” that makes art art. But the fact is, anyone who can do the same things can make the same sounds or the same patterns or the same shapes. The inspiration may be different, but the execution — at least according to this article — could be identical. It’s arguable that even the inspiration could be duplicated.
