Science is fundamentally an artistic
expression. Although most people would think of “science” and
“art” as two different concepts independent of each other and
somewhat in contradiction of each other, the two concepts are
perfectly intertwined in both essence and effect. The two are
perhaps different tools used to interact with existence and the
way life lives around itself in a surreal explosion that makes
everything everything. But science and art are both escapades of
the mind in striving to be a manipulative factor in the way air
molecules bump into smoke molecules that come from cigarettes
perfectly painted to be the least painful in the way they bump
with the mouths of sad poets and revolutionary discoverers who
share a love for the musical thump of the word “bump”. Science
is art. Both thrive from the fertility of “interperation” and
the seduction of “application.” The way art can turn the “strict
logic” of science into the “absence of logic” in art allows an
individual to bend and stretch his or her mind and the minds of
others into the abstract. Hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling,
tasting, and “other” senses are all manipulated in a way that
takes their mundane organic existence into a state of mind far
from the boundaries of their physicality. Poetry, music,
sculpture, writing, photography, film, theatre, fashion design,
architecture, are just examples of some media in which the
juggling of the mind takes place. However, a medium, more
precisely, is infinite. It is everything. This section tries to
take a closer look at how art shapes identity as opposed to art
being merely a reflection of something. The people, trends,
experiences, meanings, and powers of stretching the brain are
documented here. This is another step in our pursuit of making
shakomakoNET a living monument to everything Iraqi. |
