I do believe that art is the most powerful and profound form of
human communication. I also believe though that it must have social
applications and responsibilities. It must be noted that aesthetics
themselves can be socially applicable, as is the case with famous
designers aestheticizing low income housing to benefit the
psychological well beings of those "low-income" individuals.
I also believe that art, especially time based visual/audio media offers
insight into the perceptions and time/space occupations of others all
around the world. The important developement then is to offer
access to time based media to everyone in order to allow more
alternative and intimate communications of international and
pluralistic experiences, with the hope of constructing the most
diversely interconnected body of human existence.
Furthermore, through the extended usage of time based media as
communication, a new media language will emerge, one that
overcomes the current barriers and specificities of verbal and written
language.
