it seems that when adding different medias to art the concept of what art is must change. In the article, and observed in contemporary art, art can be a mix of a number of things including visual, musical, and conceptual works. the problem with this expanding notion of art is that more things can be considered art. If this is the case, what happens to notions of high art or being a good artist? It seems that anyone can not just be an artist but anyone can be a good artist, and thus who is to judge and understand new forms of high artistic content?
I think it is interesting that photography becomes such a strong platform for contemporary art because it creates so many new concepts that could not be portrayed in art? It connects the reality of the world with the vision of the artist. Photographs depict real life but only one moment in one life, which, in a sense, is not real at all. Life has temporal modes and certain durations that could not be infused into a photograph. how does photography change art and why is its use to important?
