I think that literal art in caves was made with the idea or history and identity preservation.
Maybe, but if alone, what is the point of keeping history or an identity of self for one self? If it is for memory purposes only, is it art?
but inevitably, we know that we will be changing something for eternity.
Nothing stands still, which is why life and art tend to be a feedback loop that directs our change.
Thanks for adding your thoughts!
Maybe not only memory, but keeping sanity. Maybe if an archaeologist finds this thing, it may get classified as art. But who knows?
Yes, I have a phrase for that: "Rome has fallen countless times"
It is always a pleasure to bump into a post like this and share some ideas. Thanks for posting!
