Book Synopsis

The lamented death of art following the rise of modern art theory and the reframing brought about by the appreciation of non-Western culture leads to the budding philosophy of everyday aesthetics. Traditional fine arts are often regarded as rarefied, something accessed by the uniquely talented and displayed in impressive museums or on lavish stages in front of large audiences. Art thusly conceived is something that most people never practice in their lives. Yet in day-to-day life we all experience a creative satisfaction through interaction with the physical and social environment which is a form of artistic practice. This book explores how we gain by understanding ways to live imaginative lives and considers the increasingly important collaborative role of computers and interaction with nature.
