Art is brain food

Some heard about the famous saying, art is business, which carried out a big movement of commercialization of art, which, caused art so expensive.

I'd say it's missing something. Something essential. That art is for human being.

I planned to write about whether art is objective or subjective. But hey, I'm no philosopher. I'll just pop a question here. Suppose there is art existing somewhere in the universe, that no one has seen it, no one has heard about it, no one knows about it. Is it still art?

I don't have much insights to the answer, still exploring myself too. However, here I want to talk about how important art is to the brain.

I've been reading a book, How emotions are made, by Lisa Feldman Barrett. It talks about how brain is consuming every sensation your body provides, non stop, and then provides prediction about outside world and then tells your body to react. I also want to mention another study I learned on Ted.com that daily exercise can actually improve "brain muscle".

Your brain needs quality input to generate better output. From there, you step forward. Music and art is this kind of input, that brings out the best of your brain.

I just finished reading Haruki Murakami's book, Novelist as a vocation. He described a feeling that he got from his readers: collaboratively, these readers, despite some personal opinions, understand me precisely, or understand my novel deeply. I expect that from my audiences too, that I hope as a entirety, you can get the message delivered in my art work. After all, art is the carrier of information to the brain. And to be connected by information, to me, is for us, as a living being, to say confidently that we're not alone.
