A quote about what art is absent interpretation, got me translating that question out further, "without interpretation, what are we?"
How does this apply to other things--like us? Nothing we think about ourselves or others really exists outside of interpretation within the context of our experience, does it?
So I think I am something, but I think that because this is what I have been led to think by the whole of input I have received throughout my life. If I had received different input, would I be something different?
Are we something stable and unwavering underneath the perceptual shifts? Is all we are defined by the perceptions (interpretations) of our environment and time?
...art is so widely (and often thinly) spread, that anything can be it. A lot of it is nothing but a gesture, not an object, not a thing unto itself, and it literally does not exist without interpretation.
