A machine is based on the clearly defined laws of a loosely accepted sensory objectivity, expresses a determinism and has a purposefulness (meaning that it is a product of an intelligence-consciousness). It generates work repeatedly.

An  artwork can be considered a machine if it meets the four conditions above.

Thus, a work of art is perceived by the senses, that is, it causes stimuli, then forms impressions in the consciousness of the viewer, which happens every time the viewer encounters the specific work of art. In other words, a work of art belongs to a –loose always (whatever this may mean)- sensory objectivity, it is the cause of a series of effects-stimuli, it is the product of purposefulness – specifically that which defines that the artwork is crafted to affect the formation of the consciousness of both the creator and the viewer, a function that is active as long as the piece of art/machine exists in the loose objectivity.
