Response to Tyler's to "mareks response..."

I agree with Tyler and his argument, about getting sick of an art. It is true desensitization happens, it's a natural process we adjust, our bodies and minds seek balance, as so the water seeks to be on equal plane, as electric charges seek to neutral the positive and negative charges. We do it!

Although

through habituation we gain alternate view point on the matter. We become experts in that very field, we know what is and what is not suppose to be there. Expertise is given, and abstract awe sight is taken away.
Is art suppose to make us awe? Who's to say that we must view art in that plane. Art may be mundane and repetitive, as it can be striking and unique.
Tyler states that art is alive, and i believe him whole heartedly, but so are mundane things.
Mundane things become mundane because we preform them automatically. We can choose to look at 100 paintings and just look at their content, analyze them, with no emotion. We can make a Job of it. Not a hobby. The same goes for mundane things, next time take a look, pay more attention, change the routine, and do things with your mind in them, and you may notice, mundane things as artistic.

So can art be mundane?
Does have it be exotic, and thought provoking?
Can it be ordinary?
