Living, through art involves automatically a one-side perspective: the exterior view, the subjective opinion of the mass about the single - art or media creator. It is a pre-limited-through-hostility state of mind, which extracts from the amount of art-based-existence possibilities only the common existence. But when replacing “through” with the more pathetic but dreamful “to”, one can let the imagination flow and art to become the cruel co-ordinator. Imagine Gustave Courbet’s “Painter’s Studio” and the web script code of it. Which is the elitist view and which is the common one? Both are truly social though...
The locative physic space nowadays is replace by the psychic numeric bodies, so living through art signifies more the actual positioning of mind, having the cultural background as a childhood memory and the organic functions as human referential. Is this referential unique for every individual character? While the concept of belonging begins to be more a religious, social label or a non-conflictive emphasis for instigating the grass-root movements, art discovers its own seeds in the media activists that promote the extremism of mind through the empowered brainwashed identities that assume only the image speaking or showing but not the belonging. Both for them and for the genuine artistic characters, the concept of being is the excuse and the purpose, the common root to divide and to fight for, but always to support for the public benefit.
Living, being and belonging through art only can explain how art can influence and individual to the point of indentifying himself with the aims and the means of the Creator, but can no more put a label on an Era. Can speak about perfection and build it, but cannot assume the emotion of constructing the unique and unrepeatable. Moving along art’s history, we can target and spot every person that made a change through art. Till now. Nobody has to prove anything no more. Art ends in inertia.
