Time, Space, and the Endlessness of Creativity

Jazz 3 - digital painting and art prints - 2005 - Dan Beck

Music exists in time and space, but not so much in vision - though one might not know that with the advent of music videos and of course live performance from the get-go.

It is not two dimensional and it is more than three - and I am not sure exactly why I say that. But like vision it can stay with us and reappear at a later time even though it is long gone.

How the above is like music is a tough call, but I know it to be. I know it was about the music I was listening to - moving to the beat and feeling the place inside.

Sometimes I feel art is time based as well - only working in a certain place and time - but creativity fortunately seems to be endless.
