A new form of creativity
14 February 2024 – Vol 2, Issue 2.
Over the years, the practice of art has changed from traditional craftsmanship to ‘techmanship’ (integrating technologies). These days, art focuses on delivering messages of community that connect people to each other and to the earth. As creativity operates in the realm of the humaneness of people, art becomes a living ecosystem for communities. It becomes the glue that holds societies together; a new channel for awareness, and for ideas to manifest.

In a space where we all are invited to participate, art helps people to change perspectives, deepen their compassion, and learn to relate to each other in new ways. This trend will increase in the upcoming years. As technology will evolve further, so questions will rise about how humanity can work alongside that technology. What makes us a unique species, as opposed to a creativity that can easily be manufactured with modern technologies? What can we contribute to each other and to the earth? These new questions will bring new awareness, and will link old ways of looking at arts and science with new theories about the connection of mind and matter.
How can this new form of creativity be used as a tool to shape society and bring its evolution. How can it operate despite the jagged edges of old thought structures and the differences between people.
Art helps us plant the seed of new structures… It helps us build a better healthier community.
