François Matarasso (2019) writes that “art creates change, but it should be in the hands of the person who experiences it, not at the command of another, whether artist or funder.” Reflect in a blogpost about how your work in progress might effect change, and where you think the power lies in that.
One of my portfolio artworks will explore the relationships between nature and technology and I think that the viewer of this creation will be able to experience this relations through a piece of art. I certainly believe that the true power of art is to convey messages or ideas and make an impact on gallery visitors. I want the spectator to be an important piece of the installation himself, and understand these relationships through the medium of sound, sculpture and technology. I truly support this statement, and we as artists need to understand that our work needs to deeply touch the heart of the spectator and definitely create change in their way of thinking.
