True Purpose of Art



I’ve grown increasingly accustomed to self-reference…

The True Purpose of Art™ is to create a shared space that we can all go to. That is, we live our lives separately, individually, cut off from one another into the various vessels of our bodies. And through that separation - one from another and God from all - we experience pain and loss and loneliness. Art is one of many in a series of corrective sequences granted to us by the Mercy of God™ to reunite us through the bonds of shared experience. We may not be able to feel what it is fully to exist within the body of another person, but through Art we have the ability to create a space simultaneously outside of and within all of our bodies where we can go all together and share the same bedrock experience.

    […] In other words, you’ll soon be able to navigate through information in any direction, zooming in, out, etc. Working with text is going to become more like working in Photoshop or Illustrator: editing layers, expanding, drilling down, etc. Hyperlinks, in an information-usage like that come to mean something entirely different: they could be thought of almost like macros, set actions taken upon data to achieve a specific result. You could trade datawake narratives with other people, so that they could experience a given set of data nodes in a roughly similar way as you. […]
