We must consider who we are in a world where the machine is becoming smarter and smarter, where the impossible is now quite possible. When we think of the arts, it is necessary to stretch our imaginations to a time when humanity will steer evolution. We are at the precipice of navigating this course now. There are many concerns and theories about the future of the arts, but if the focus overemphasizes theory, content is neglected. Theory is necessary to assess content, but content must arise out of culture.
Content is the pulse.
It can reflect culture as a cultural portrait or it can steer culture by presenting a vision. How we engage in new technologies will reflect this. By checking and rechecking the barometer of society and planning for the long range. If the pioneering technologies are focusing on extreme life extension and the innovative biotechnologies that will augment our brains and bodies are in the forefront, this is a cue.
