The Exquisite Corpse Is Alive and Well

It seemed that with the advent of internet communication and digital design applications artists would now become more individualist than ever before. The context is propitious for making complex works of art with word wide exhibition for free and from the hand of a single artist. But the actual scene is very different, the web and media seemed to be filled with collaborative art. This may be due to many phenomena, for instance we could come to the conclusion that as some old-fashioned people say “internet ruins your imagination”, but even if does ruin your imagination most likely it ruins it at the same rate as formal education does, and formal education hasn’t been eradicated yet. This due to the fact that even if formal education limits our capacity for innovation in terms of concepts, it provides a stable ground for the manipulation of this concepts, and thus allows us to innovate in the realm of construction and assimilation of content. The general public now grasps this new tool of expression in its hands as many become concerned on whether society will be able to discern the great power and responsibility it yields. And of course, just as in education, there are always exceptional beings that reveal against the limitations imposed to them and create new concepts, thus adding more nourishment for society to assimilate.
