Is it possible for Artists to concider the possibility that "Thinking" might
be (or involve) some form of "Formal" system?

That "visual Art" might be (or involve) some form of "visual Thinking" -and
therefore also some kind of "Formal" system.

That by rejecting "Formality" -"Art" and "Culture" force themselves to remain
on the level of an incoherent babble from frustrated (and retarded) children.

Can there be intelligent dialogue without "causality"?

What value has "emotion" if there is no cause?

While Scientists appear to progress through the invention and interpretation
of
relationships (between and within the universa), Artists risk suffocating
themselves
(and others) by indulging in either meaningless absolutism or pointless
relativism. 

With Formal Greetings,
Trevor
