Complexity for the sake of an accurate engagement with a complex situation is precision in the truest sense of the word. Precision can be understood as achieving the requisite complexity for any particular experience.<br /><br />No (good) artist wants to reduce precision. Though the artist may accomplish precision either by complicating or simplifying matters (as the situation requires). <br /><br />Art (i.e. <i>good</i> art) makes us more precise—makes us experience life more precisely. Bad art (i.e., junk) makes us less precise. It is the real enemy.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858865501469168339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861197.post-54570279677201070792011-07-17T23:32:58.964+02:002011-07-17T23:32:58.964+02:00always? some artist might just want to add complex...always? some artist might just want to add complexity thus reducing the "precision"... don't you think?ayehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851467958216867240noreply@blogger.com
