<human>:  Can you give me a definition of minimalism?
<bot>: Minimalism is an artistic and cultural movement that emphasizes the use of simple or basic design elements, including line, shape, color, texture, and form, to create a minimalist aesthetic. It encourages minimal distraction, in order to achieve a focus on the essential elements of design. Minimalism also encourages economy of space, material, and meaning to achieve simplicity.
