This is a post about art. It will not be so long. It's about how a work of art needs today to be linked to some events, to be understood and to leave a mark in the brain of the viewer.
Our brains are filled by images. In that crowd, even artworks need a little help to be able to say what they have to say.
We receive a great deal of inputs but we have just one, linear timeline. Artworks are not inside the time. They are out of it. They last in the time but are not inside its stream. I'm not talking literally, of course. (I'm not talking clearly either, I am afraid. Anyway.)
So artists should be concerned about giving to their artworks a way to "happen" in the time - at least those artists who want their artworks to communicate to people.
An artist - today more than in the past - has to make his artwork happen in other's timelines. That give to it a chance to interact with people and - that's amazing - to take them out of their timeline for a while.
Becouse, you know, when tou watch an artwork and it says to you something very intense, in that moment you are out of the time.
In other words, artworks are time machines. ;)
