I've thought some more about it, and I've come to the conclusion that engineering is NOT art. but that does not mean they are mutually exclusive. in fact, these two labels are orthogonal and do not affect each other.
just as an individual can use the skills of their craft for artistic creation, as well as for engineering. just as a given individual can be an engineer and an artist. I think that any given creation can be a product of both art and engineering. most are.

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud Well stated, I like the idea that they're orthogonal, at least at the level of creative intent because there is artistic beauty in even the least "artistic" engineering, like the brutalism of power grid infra or the subtle chaos of circuit board traces.
