Arts in The Future


2/9

Our method

Arts are created, or at least manifested, byhumans. Changing social conditions createsdifferent human-artists. Different human-

artists create different arts. We will think of a few certain directions along

which social conditions will change, and guesshow arts would change along. Some guessesmight be already partially confirmed by thecurrent state of arts.


3/9

More freedom

Less arts censorship prescribed by laws.

No/less sense of working as a duty (e.g. for

the King).

More easy to earn a living:

More time to work independently.

Less concern about reception.


4/9

More supporting information and

communication system

More easy to self-learn:

Less standardized learning environment (more

varied artistic experiences).

Express and share ideas faster and wider.


5/9

Consequence 1: Arts become more

revealing and influential

Causes:

With more freedom and time to work, artists dwelldeeper into their souls, find and reveal unnoticeduniversal aspects of human souls.

The less standardized learning environment increasesthe chance of finding something interesting.

The modern information system magnifies theinfluence of arts.

Significance:

Arts not only reflects, but also shapes human history.


6/9

Consequence 2: Arts become more

abstract

Cause:

The new, interesting things artists encounter in

their souls are certainly less concrete than before.

Artists care less about reception, since they can

work independently more easily.

Significance:

The separation between the artists and theaudience is larger. Misunderstanding can remain

unsolved. Arts influence might decrease.


7/9

Consequence 3: Arts have more new

applications

Cause:

As the notion that arts can be revealing about oursouls becomes clearer, we might actively attempt touse arts to solve various human-related problems orto increase our efficiency.

Examples:

Art-based therapies

To encourage creativity To solve office/school/social problems

Etc.


8/9

Consequence 4: Breakthrough in arts

become less individual/more collective

Cause:

The modern communication system connects like-

minded people faster


9/9

Consequence 5: A turning point?

Warning: this is really a guess

Possible causes:

Science solves the mystery of consciousness. Arts,

as a production of consciousness, changesdrastically.

We come to know something very profound aboutthe reality. Arts, playing its role of reflecting

human history and knowledge, changesdrastically.

Significance: We dont really know.
