Things That Might Be Art is a weekly feature here on The Jailbreak. We present you, our readers, with a product, idea or creation that skirts the line between art, design, fashion or something else entirely. Then you must tell us what you think via a handy poll. Sound good? Great, let’s get started.

While some people might consider clothing designers to be artists in their own right, it’s a rarity that an actual piece of clothing — except a few items in Lady Gaga’s wardrobe — is considered a work of art. That’s especially true when looking at graphic T-shirts, many of which have become redundant and uninspired of late. The reason for the graphic tee’s stagnation can be partially attributed to its 2D limitations. Besides new designs, some, increasingly, from artists, the T-shirt has never really evolved. Well, maybe until now.

Japanese brand Shikisai has released a line of functional designer T-shirts ($70.00). Yes, ones that actually do something. The husband and wife team attaches 3D objects like shoelaces, telephone wires and pens to shirts printed with shoes, telephone poles and an open Moleskin journal. Additionally, they have a shirt printed with a vacuum cleaner that looks to be sucking up the fabric; one showing venetian blinds that open when the string is pulled; and yet another with a checkers-like board that can be used with pins to play a game.

Making a T-shirt playful and interactive doesn’t necessarily make it art. Or does it? The Guggenheim, which sells the shirts in its shop, certainly seems to think so. What do you think? Please vote below! [Via Incredible Things]
