During the time while I visited a place of higher learning, each student was to create what they considered a work of art. Mine was a music and visual display that involved lights that came on depending on the frequency of the music. The only difference between my display and a graphic equalizer is that the lights were in an abstract design.
Bear in mind that each individual in this class had created some kind of work of art that we would all judge. After looking at each individuals project, we came to the conclusion that each project had acquired a life of it’s own that was independent of it’s creator.
When my project was viewed and judged, it was perceived in ways that I never imagined when I created it. As the discussions went on, no one was more astounded than the creator of each art object how many different ways their object was perceived; it was like each object took on a different life that went beyond the creator, and so it is with "modern jazz".
