What is a greater stimulus Music or Art?
Today I attended a debate, where the motion was what is greater stimulus music or art? It is certainly an interesting question as both are things embedded in society and we encounter both at many points during our daily routine.
Art it is something that completely surrounds us. So a definition of art is something that one must first be decided upon, as what do we class as art; fashion, the design on your pen??
Art is something that can be immersive, take a painting by Picasso the bold forms and lines transport us into an abstract world where we as the audience must derive meaning from the piece. This is somewhat similar to different genres of art, such as sculpture or performance art, which often is dependent on the participation of the audience in order to be complete, take as an example the slides that were placed in the Turbine hall of the Tate Modern, and such a neccessity on audience participation certainly creates a more stimulating experience. But then art is something that is easier to avoid, as we can choose not visit the local art gallery and we can easily walk past a church or a building and even close our eyes in order to prevent encountering a work of art.
Music on the other hand seems somewhat harder to avoid and if you go out in to a town, there is music pumping in nearly all the shops and many of the streets are filling with the tones of street entertainers, meaning there are more opportunities to be stimulated by music. There is that saying "lost in music" and the wide ranging genres help make people become more absorbed in music, and think of festivals such as Glastonbury or the latest boy band concert, where the tickets are sold almost immediately after going on sale, as people want to soak up the atmosphere and experience the music in a first hand environment. This means it is often more far reaching than art, as frenzy's in the art world are mainly caused in the auctions for the famous pieces where the art is brought less for its stimulating and absorbing qualities but more for its value and importance.
But then it is a personal opinion, as some people feel more attached to the art world, whereas other feel a closer connection to music.
