CURRENT ART-Defintition [20230521]

ART definition playground

Note 20230529

 

Wasn't sure where to put this, but it feels like an important part showing some of the process to define art and also some other processes.

 

Silly texts and maybe important too.

 

Important note, like above, my art definition evolved from talking about ART and entertainment to later mean and make a diference between ART as a whole and as newART and/or PerspectiveART and/or AutonomusART more specifically. So when I talk about ENT or ENTERtainment it usully means PerspectiveART and when I talk about ART it's usually newART and sometimes also the whole spectra of ART (but I wasn't really consciously aware of thinking about the whole definition as ART until later this spring after having to defend it to myself and also towards Niklas Hald in a zoom meeting. Renaming the whole spectra ART was such a simple solution and really gave me alot of clarity in what all other things could and should be and be thought as...

ART

APPLE1 being a very meaningful and nurturing conscious newART-apple

 

APPLE 2 being a very harmful and meaningless subconscious newART-apple

ARTistic process

Working to maximise enhance the audience's/the products possibilty to create ARTistic experiences.

               ART

To Dream Collectivly on your own or thoghter with someone else at the precipiece of and beyond your own/the group/events/etc's knowledge

 

Could be an ART-hunch or sparked by A piece of ART or Entertainment or a piece of Logistics or any process at all...

A piece of ART

Note 20230530:

The thought of "A piece of newART and/or PerspART and/or AutoART" as "a piece of ART" that is always under construction in our minds and bodys not just at an individual but on a societal and world level until it stops being ART all together and becomes complete reality or a tool of measurment (for science or every day life)... Is fascenating to me, not just because it makes us as humans a product of our ancestors and our own ART-limitations but also in what we choose not to ART about or give the credit of ARTing to...

 

Like for an example: Mona Lisa (2023) is something we usually say is art but we usually don't ask ourselves when it stops being art and in so doing we stop ARTing about the painting itself's possibilities..

 

As a contrast, we walk on small pieces of stone everyday and we use stones as tools to build many many things. But, we usually don't stop every day we see a stone and ART about it's possibilites and meaning not even on an AutoART (I believe) level. And therefor stones most of the time aren't "pieces of ART"... Until we start looking at them and start ARTing about them with intent again - and then new stuff might suddenly happen... We make new mixes of stones to walk on, we findout new things about them and tell oursellves and others new stories or stories with other perspectives. Small stones as finite resources (sand in hills) (Beiser 2019) and so on...

 

It's like everything holds the power to be ART and be ARTed about - no thing is to small or to big - ever. Like, quantum physics, where a thing changes it's way of functioning or even being when measured or looked upon (observer effect 2023).

The only thing that stops us from expanding our understanding about anything in every direction is the ART-limitations we tell ourselves about it...

It's just a stone. It's just Mona Lisa I've seen it a thousand times before... I know it and I know what it does and is...

 

And also whom we give credit to being able to ART like these two cat videos on Tiktok and youtube: (Bunsenburnersbmp, (2020). [online video]  David Teie - Music for Cats https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJHEEpaP/ mars 2020 [20230530]; Teie, D. (2020). [online video] David Teie - Music for Cats 20 juli 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D6pqZG7sp0 [20230530]) where a cat starts to listen to the music because it is written for it and in notes and melodies they can understand... In other words: within the realms of what is possible for it to grasp... In other words PerspectiveART and possibly and most probably newART the first time they heard it... And all other music is either just background noice: above or belove their consciuos and subconsciuos ART-understanding for it to register as something to ART about...

Copied note: 20230424

 

Switch ART to newART
ENTERtainment to perspectiveART
and LOGistics to
AutonomousART

 

20230524 - or don't, to show the process...

 

Note 20230529: Main reason:

ART is the whole field of the definition.

And, ENTERtainment, even if a little dad punny and a bit provocative, is much better explained as perspectiveART because entertainment is a thing of its own that you can be ARTing about at a newART level or any where inside the definition of ART... Plus entertainment is a feeling and/or a specific level of amusement/excitement over a thing, a whole field of art, a business model, a theme, a genre and the list goes on... And it is also already very wrongfully so compared with art as a dichotomy - and in so doing diminishing the awesome works of comedians, jesters, clowns etc... because in reality, as most practitioners within the arts knows: comedy is one of the hardest things to pull off: because it takes timing and a very specific knowledge about your audience awareness/knowledge/connection/etc which most of the times makes comedy a higher art-form than most but is shunned as a lower form because it is seen as entertainment (something for our amusement and not something that leads to new knowledge and/or nurturing thoughts (which also is just plain wrong about entertainment and also about art... Especially if they are both inside the definition of ART)...).

On some headings you can scroll

ENTertainment process

Working inside, the known, Collective Knowledge, The Anarchive,

A piece of ENTERTAINMENT

ENTertainment

To dream ...... within.....    collective knowledge

Experience

living, thinking, being, seeing, hearing, feeling, bodily, etc...

Experience

Action, doing, thinging (stacey Sacks funshop 20230222), living, thinking, being, seeing, hearing, feeling, bodily, etc...

Product

Action, doing, thinging (stacey Sacks funshop 20230222)

Logistic process

The dull processes of just putting things in to place

or doing something to prepare for something already

experienced and known.

Knitting your shoe laces, carying the bags from one side to

the other of the Theater room... etc..

A piece of Logistics

everyday food, nothing sparks Entertainment or ART

LOGistics

The oppisite of "to dream collectivly" = just doing or acting without an openess towards or connection or relation to

It's not about, and have never been about, when machines start thinking for us... (because they have been ever since they were invented) it's about when machines starts to collectivly dream instead of us...

Found this article now, late 20230528, in the process:

https://www.romartikaspeaks.com/post/the-art-or-the-impossibility-of-it-of-visual-documentation


Where they quote Tolstoy’s book - ‘What is Art’ and his definition: 

 

"To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced, and having evoked it in oneself, then, by means of movements, lines, colours, sounds, or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others may experience the same feeling - this is the activity of art.

 

Art is a human activity, consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings, and also experience them."

 

 

Reading this it still feels to small - just feelings?

I think, this would be by my definition: to ART about feelings in/on/with/etc any kind of art form and then using that feeling as a tool in an ARTistic process to guide your creation/creativity — much like Nils Claesson’s art hunch… or Niklas Rådström’s gold nugget… in my thesis.


So, feelings for me does not include the entirity of ART but ART for me includes all sorts of and all sorts of concepts of feelings. Because feelings are one tool to ART with, as is the entire body, mind, thought, faith etc... And all things we can come up to enhance or combine or power to ART with: Machines, science, ideologies, stories, faiths, computor programs, digital neural networks, quantum computors, AI-promting tools, AI, AI-promted-human-tools, AI-promted-software/hardware/machine-tools in the survice of mankind (or mankind is no longer what will be leading this side of the universe's ARTing about the future... and also not for whom the ARTing is done in favour for... = Humans is forever more a subspiecies of this earth... so... let's not make THAT happen... Time to write some AI-tool laws like the robotic laws of Isaac Isomov: https://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-21259,00.html ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_robotics [last accessed 20230528] ).

Like: AI-must always act in the best interest of (and not act harmful towards) humankind and not act in it's own self's interest and ARTing of an AI should always be done in favour for humankind and not machinekind or/and AI without humankind...

 

In other words: It's not about, and have never been about, when machines start thinking for us... (because they have been ever since they were invented) it's about when machines starts to collectivly dream instead of us...
