laodan discovered 12 months ago- On ART in the future. by myself in Crucial Talk
In the air of our times something is brewing that we still can't see nor comprehend very well but that is bound to change drastically the way we understand what is reality. Four factors, it seems to me, are the ingredients of that brew: 1. The mis-understanding in Late modernity that "art is whatever". 2. Scientific imaging is confronting us with an exponential rise in realist images of things our eyes can't see directly. 3. The objectification of beauty. 4. Globalization and the great melting-pot. On ART in the future. Here some sentences I always appreciate re-reading: - All of us humans are thus somehow un-conscientiously under the influence of some kind of automatic pilot inducing us to appreciate the successful evolutionary forms, colors, lines, harmonics, rhythms... and this pilot is our DNA and its genetic code that stores the memory of the entire evolution of life on earth. - Technology liberated us from the limitation of our visual sensors (after all they were only tools given to us for assuring our individual survival) and multiplied the scope and breadth of our observation field. We are no longer bound exclusively by what our eyes see and their transmission of signals to the brain for it to process orders for the defense of the body. The brain is now, directly or indirectly, creating images for the eyes to see allowing them to discover dimensions of reality that were inaccessible to them before. I advise you all to compare the work of Willem De Kooning with the visualizations that precede in this article. Comments are most welcomed!
