Art Event - Speaking of Printable art

The SUNY and Hartwick Art Show, was pretty awesome. Though funny to see an entire wall dedicated to the paintings of rocks and a regal pedestal reserved for showcasing rocks in a special formation. While I come off joking, it does mean something immensely important to someone out there. The parts of art that speak to me more, are less the recreation of reality, but the care and details that came with the tools used in reality. It blows my mind to think that years from now when archaeologist are looking through the remains of civilizations from the 21st century, they're gonna find neon colored guns and probably get wrong how they we used them. They'll find vases and sake glasses and reason why they were made, and sculpted. They're gonna find a pattern in the vase handles and give reason to why they were done that way. Someone will be just as enchanted about finding items of everyday life, then they are of items recreating a single moment in life. Still my roommate would argue the opposite. Regardless, I think art pieces that were once used, once a prize possession hold so much more gravity then just a painting of a single moment in time.
