No seriously though, to me it means being at peace with your individuality. Taking what's best about you as a unique creature, and sharing it with the world in the most positive way possible.

 

That sounds really weird, but that's what ARTPOP is :toofloppy:

In all seriousness, I think this is what she meant:

 

She's said on multiple occasions that ARTPOP is just naming everything she's been doing in her career so far- infiltrating art culture/high art into pop culture and commercialization. (She also notes she's not the only one who practices "ARTPOP". In my opinion, Kanye, Beyonce, and other artist have done this as well). Because in today's society, no one but artists actually know anything about the art world. How many Monsters actually heard of Jeff or Marina or Bob Wilson before Gaga worked with them for AP? That is the whole point- to bring awareness to these artists/art she admires. People call her a copycat but she is just referencing art she admires. 

In pop music, a lot of artists are called "sell-outs" because their music is popular and commercial, but what Gaga means is she can still maintain her artistic integrity and still have popular music and be commercial. I mean, that's practically been her career so far. People actually think of Gaga as an artist, but yet she's a pop star.

 

I'm just gonna stop now before I type a whole thesis, but I think those are the major points.

ARTPOP is about how she is a shapeshifter living halfway between reality and fantasy, and it's all about the adrenaline and the rushes that come from that type of lifestyle

 

pop is her canvas and she will paint whatever she wants on it

I love your interpretation!

It means what Gaga says it means, to me. I am not ambitious enough to create my own deep meaning for ARTPOP. It's pop+art, or art in pop, or.. just recognizing that pop, too, is art in itself.

I guess I just created "my" meaning. Huh.

Personally, it means possibilities and creative process to me.

 

But about it means really :
