Thoughts spanning
Life is a general summary
Life is a general summary of human beings living in nature and from the past to the present to the future, emphasizing practical effectiveness on the issue of survival. It is precisely because of this practicality that it rejects the essence of art, because the thoughts of art is ineffective in the practicality of life.
The effectiveness of life has established a common sense of normality for us, so that our thoughts and actions are within this clear range of normal consciousness. Practicality and effectiveness are brought into full play in this range. However, the essence of art does not belong to this range.
This kind of normality consciousness will find that we have to give up those normal consciousnesses in the process of fully pursuing ambitious, practical and intelligent goals.
Abandoning the thoughts of normalcy is the beginning of discovering art and also the beginning of artistic creation.
In fact, art is the art of perception.
The original intention of art
The original intention of art is to allow perception to regain new perception. It is the perception that is difficult to perceive. It is about the perception method, about the perception outside the existing perspective, about the perception of small accidents in the existing experience, and it emphasizes the methodology.
There are many reasons that hinder our in-depth creation, one of the main ones is too many ideas, too selfish, and too arbitrary.
Art is not a microphone and foil of ideas. Art will shine only when ideas serve art.
It is not that art needs to match ideas, but ideas need to match art.
Don’t expect to put your own ideas into others’ heads through art. Because art is not a tool, let alone a conspiracy. Ideas can only become the background, not the protagonist.
Why do we put a horizontal line across the screen, our eyes will immediately show the illusion of the horizon? Is this the effect of gravity on us? Or is our genes conspiring with gravity?
Gravity is the original force on the earth and is closely related to the birth of life. The horizon is a symbol of gravity.
Gravity determines our perception. We perceive the world under the control of gravity, and we perceive the world in the formula of gene propagation and survival.
Our perception is a convenient program edited by genes in order to survive and spread genes. Everything starts step by step, and we are secretly defined as a carrier of communication.
However, in the long journey of human development, due to the residual increment of perception .
The birth of art
The birth of art has gradually become an exception thoughts. It is a bit like a mutation in gene transfer. It can become more and more free from gravitational manipulation.
Survival needs, let yourself become useless for survival, let yourself be yourself. When the purpose of art is art. Art has completed its ignorance of gravity and betrayal of genes.
Presenting the unknown perception is like presenting art. From a certain angle, let yourself be in a kind of uncertainty from time to time, is it not a kind of freedom?
This is the question I thought about in the process of creating this batch of works.
