How to definate art? Here is the proces from artist to ready-made, by using media during creative proces, to show off idea in concept. Judication, or critica can definate quality of art. Why we do this - that's philosophia. What bring the art to us, or where take us? The art directly and inseparably includes history of civilizations or civilization. One without next? Nonsense.
If we look back they were here several interest moments with us. Kognitive revolution, when we loosed tails during we found leanguage to talk. If it's good or not - sometimes it works. Then we becomed farmers and builders - work on the fields and houses, and ofcourse we mastered animals - if that's good - I don't realy know. Next big thing - we open the concept of machines, then manufactura and more...sure, this is not enought - so, we become to more interested to science - we slowly learn how to bring synthesis between mechanical and biology ingineering, for instance. What mean, that we have here mechanic arms, mechanic heart's parts, mechanic parts of ears, glasses for recognize colours, if yourself can't, and much more...what else? We have several machines far from home..and if you haven't enought about, you can take mind to the big-bang-theory, you can tell then how old space circa is, and date of over...then in same time ask yourself, what that the time mean, and how we recognize that we can definited the age of universe.
In the same reality we killing each-others anyways, and even it's nothing new under Sun - we surprised, we falling to the fears, we feel...we just homo-sappiens-spappiens - if we are special - I don't realy know.
Today at the present right here and now, question is - what shall we do now? Nowadays, side by side fact's the critical situation is, we must walk-in-to-the-future. What's the future? It's called sci-fi, becouse we don't know what is future. Would be? No. The future realy doesn't exist. Even history whoose created present doesn't more exist. That all was. This stories just help us find better opinions, and then teach us to choose from what we like, what we love, what we need etc. and what no. How manny times we repeat the fails, the errors, the wrong standing to the thing? Well, let's see.
