What is art? Who is art? Is art life or is life art? Is art about you or the artist? Yes? Even if it is hard to come up with a precise and useful definition of the word, we know it stirs our passions. We are also in the midst of an innovative revolution in perceiving, understanding, appreciating and valuing art. How are factors such as new media, the Internet, mainstream commercialization, urbanization and globalization impacting something that is both very personal and emotional yet macro, cultural and material?
