Meanwhile somewhere in the Bahamas:

"Sir, the question is how long can you spam away from art theory to save the reputation of MIT, Harvard, Princeton and Columbia and probably the rest of the Ivy League universities from world derision, for forgetting the most basic theory relating to the pictorial condition out of the whole of their university press publications?

First world prats well r u?

What's even more ridiculous is that it's a space employee in denial of the most basic of geometric conditions.

The thing is, is that image processing and the concept of a 2D data field of pictorial information and object recognition in the form of image assessments, is as a matter of fact bound to happen out globally and soon, because imaging is now a central part of everybody's kit.

Sir is counting on mass hypnosis before his base explodes and the prepared escape pod departs?"

"Your name?'

"Worth, sir... Harry."

"We have a listener whose written in and they...they have a question and it's how...can... you ask what art is, if you don't know what art is? How can you have a theory of art if you don't know what art is?

... And there's a caller on the line and they say that with anything to do with the visual there is the visual field and that has pictorial geometry to it, as proven by the geometry of perspective.

Whatever other activities that go on that claim to be art, the geometry of perspective proves for certain a fact of metaphysical contemplation."

The geometry of perspective is proof of metaphysical media possibility.

If you can draw in perspective that proves metaphysical contemplation.

If you draw a smiley face it is not proof of metaphysical contemplation because one cannot prove the act and intention is any more than putting something on a surface.

Same as that there is no proof if you write something that it is a metaphysical contemplation because there is no intrinsic proof of metaphysical media possibility.

"So... We have a caller on the line to ask a question about that and they ask is a Jackson Pollock a work of art and the caller on the other line has said technically not because there's no evidence of metaphysical contemplation and let's... let's just dwell on on this a bit... err...

What distinguishes man from monkey is the external proof of metaphysical activity.

That proof lies in the perspective drawing as external proof of metaphysical contemplation.

This is why the Renaissance took off and Europe left the rest of the world standing.

That proof of metaphysical activity still stands as the proof."

"The holocaust of denial is enshrined in Marx and post-war with The Frankfurt School of Critical Theory and French philosophy and Wittgenstein's picture theory and post-modernism and abstraction because they all miss that out of their ideology even though the enabling facts of pictorial geometry span the visual field.

You can't just miss the facts of the pictorial condition out of art theory and hope to spam forever more.

Yes, folks it's a true story, The Art World Adventures of Piggley Winks

"I can be rich forever and ever I can make spots or stripes, cow patties, black yellow green art, power, revolution, women anywhere anything, post-modernism, feminism, any derangement any arrangement, Frankfurt School of Critical Theory, toilets and muck oh I'm rich forever and ever and ever and..."

'But Jakers you've missed something out, you've MISSED OUT ART THEORY."

"Oh what's that, I don't know?"

"It's 2D shape represents 3D form, Jakers."

It's proof of metaphysical contemplation."

I once had a tour of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence and the guide showed the evolution of the depiction of the Madonna, originally in 2D form, and the point in history at which the artists mastered painting in perspective. He went on to show a number of other paintings where artists were experimenting with painting in perspective and some struggling with the basic concept of objects in the foreground being larger than those in the background.

I found it fascinating as being able to contextualise the world in ‘3D’ was something I had always taken for granted.

What it did was provide proof or something greater than man for certain, where comprehension of a perceived external world could be shared and agreed, one was here and looking at that.

In actual fact, the individual comprehension objectified as a partial viewpoint of an object world, both absolved and empowered the viewer, free of ego-trauma.

The Western discovery of perspective absolves the ego more than anything else, in placing the viewer as a participant in something else, for sure.

I am here, you are there whatever.

I am here and you are there, subject to the same forces, proven by the fact that there was a universal agreement as to how the perceived external world looked.

That freed the West of ego issues centuries ago.

are you some kind of field test?

in all of your posts i don't think you have ever contributed in one way to anything other than your own ego. i tried to give you a clue with the portrait but it went over your head.

are you even capable of empathy?

i think you are a psychopath.

Saying somebody lacks empathy and is a psychopath and it's all about their ego, because they've pointed out that a major part of pictorial theory has been missed out of academia and art writing, is a bit over the top to say the least, in fact it's hysterical.
