I would not extol or dismiss the virtues of particular scientific experiments or doubt the seriousness of those in the vanguard of their discipline without having significant knowledge of the field. Art has become blurred with entertainment. Thinkers and artists have been wrestling with that concept forever. Basically Steiner suggests that people get confused when they confuse representation with advocacy. It doesn't advocate.
Art is an inherently paradoxical phenomenon whose meaning is always open to varying interpretations.
Art can be fetishized, transformed into an idol of worship. Karl Marx would turn it into a commodity fetish, into a thing mistaken for the social values and status it can convey. Freud would turn it into an erotic fetish, into a thing mistaken for an ultimate object of sexual desire. Regardless of one's theoretical inclinations, questions about art represent some of the most fundamental questions of human existence. Reza's Art pursues the interpretations and relations built into observers, art objects, writers and friends.
