..every person continually performs material processes. He continually creates interrelationships. Even when he gives, when he defers to another, or the way he behaves in a crowd, there are always, let’s say, form processes at work. Dancers, after all, do nothing but move, on their feet. And people on a crowded street are basically dancers too.
Joseph Beuys, What is Art?

The most hopeful thing about this process – about the inevitable disregard for the identity factor in the creative situation – is that it will permit a climate in which biological data and chronological assumption can no longer be the cornerstone for judgements about art as it relates to environment. In fact, this whole situation of individuality in the creative situation – the process through which the creative act results from, absorbs, and re-forms individual opinion – will be subjected to a radical reconsideration.

Attachment to the concrete means a loss of future
-Stafford Beers

David Bohm expressed the hope, for example, that future scientists would be less dependent on mathematics for modeling reality and will draw on new sources of metaphor and analogy.

We have an assumption now that’s getting stronger and stronger that mathematics is the only way to deal with reality, Bohm said. Because it’s worked so well for a while we’ve assumed that it has to be that way.

Indeed, like some other scientific visionaries, Bohm expected that science and art would someday merge.

This division of art and science is temporary he said. It didn’t exist in the past, and there’s no reason why it should go on in the future.

Just as art consists not simply of works of art but of an attitude, the artistic spirit, so does science consist not in the accumulation of knowledge but in the creation of fresh modes of perception.

The ability to perceive or think differently is more important than the knowledge gained.
