So instead of joining the dots, it might be more reasonable to appreciate the dots for what they are – spontaneous, random, ever changing. If I were to read to you a line from Eliot “That corpse you planted last year in your garden, has it begun to sprout?” … “what does it mean?” is a reasonable question to ask. But if I were to play you some Beethoven… it would be senseless to ask a question like “what does it mean?” All art aspires to the state of music… to the point where experience is not hindered by context.... 

While science is busy unifying theory and make enlightenment googlable, art ought to be busy finding the right search keywords, the right questions and the unique ways of looking. It’s the job of the artist as a scientist to discover and deconstruct, as a philosopher to reflect and challenge and as an artist to show us if it’s beautiful or not.
