is art’s purpose not to show life in its most transparent form? is it not to reveal those natural structures that lay groundwork for our own rationality, or lack thereof? is it not to expose the minute, the unseen? with nature broken down to its empirical form, as it is now, what then becomes the purpose of art? we seem to have hit a wall, or rather, science.
is art dead?
Where do we draw the line between art and science? Below is an image of iridescent cells from around the squid eye, taken by today’s featured artist Fernan Federici, that was used in a microscopy experiment at Cambridge University.

Fast forward: at what level of human interference does computer programming, and encrypting, shift from a science to a work of art? What is made of man and what by machine? What’s the difference?
“The time for Beauty is over.
The more art develops, the more scientific it will be, just as science will become artistic. Separated in their early stages, the two will become one again when both reach their culmination.”
-Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880)

Tiepolo Sky by my aunt Beth
These mountains are so beautiful
You nearly drive off
into the clouds and I am spacing
my breath
I can’t tell you how frightened I am
because this was my idea We were near death
on the ground
How were we to know
that what is so exquisite
might also be
dangerous
We were docile
eroticizing God
and toxic
