Art can be nearly anything taken out of the context of its original purpose or function.
Art is the philosophy of art.
Artists are typically people who feel the future is at risk, and so they meddle with things to ensure we see them in a displaced light.
Without artists—without art—we would be blind to ourselves and the world.
