Art is meant to be examined as much as food is meant to endure chemical tests!
- idonthack 16y agoif by "chemical tests" you mean compatibility with the human digestive tract and metabolism, then yes
- gbog 16y agoI mean no. It looks very wrong to me to think that art's primary purpose is to be examined. Am I the only one?
- jarin 16y agoTo quote the great philosopher Karl Pilkington: "Art is just something for your eyes to look at."
- mattgreenrocks 16y agoNope. I think art's purpose is to change and mature you, if you let it. It's just that the Internet is home to a lot of people that believe rationalism is the only valid way to perceive the universe, when in reality it is just one way to do so. Personally, I found myself unhappy when I restricted myself to it. The universe seemed cold, empty, and cruel. I think a lot of people hit this stage and then just give up completely. It's really sad.
- merloen 16y agoI only meant "examine" as in "observe", "look at", "listen to", as opposed to "use", "run" or "execute". I never meant to make the universe seem cold or cruel. Sorry about that.
