What is the art of? The heart of art

The word "awaken" sums it up.

Whether it is shocking or thought-provoking, or even just to make people laugh, the core of art is to awaken the audience's feelings, desires, thinking, and to awaken the audience's numbness or lack of mind.

There are many forms of artistic expression, first-class works of art to mobilize human thinking (thinking, thinking), second-rate works to mobilize human feelings (joy, anger, sadness and happiness), third-rate to meet the stimulation of the five senses (visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, etc.).

The forms of artistic expression are not limited to the mainstream categorization. Massage can be art because it achieves tactile stimulation of the viewer (audience), which is both physically and mentally pleasurable. Food can be art, a piece of carefully roasted meat can move people. Mathematics can be art, rigorous derivations and proofs can be refreshing, the ruler of the seventeen sides of the graph is shocking.

Art is very subjective, like the old saying "a thousand XXs", and even the same audience will have different feelings and evaluations of the same work at different stages of their lives. The creator of a work that "lasts for a long time" and can make the audience "learn from the past" can be called an artist. From my point of view, cat and mouse can be called art, although the level of arousal is very low, but it does make me laugh out loud. By extension, SM can also be called art with certain audiences.

"Technique can be advanced to the Tao, and art to the gods." Technology is the constant search for the truth of heaven and earth, and art is the touching of the audience's heart. The two complement each other, without solid technology it is difficult to realize the precision of art (thought level) expression, without the connotation of thought technology is difficult to bring a sense of beauty.
