This goes to show that even a large scale catastrophe cannot stop art.  The people in the worst conditions need somewhere to turn to take there minds off the turmoil and strife.  Art is the best possible medium to escape to, whether it be digital or not. Therefore Art comes out through Loss.

On the otherhand CNN.com’s John Sutter demos two test products at the Googleplex, including “Liquid Galaxy.” which is a 3D immersive universe that lets you enjoy the Earth as if it was a virtual game.  Some may call this a huge advancement in Google, but I see this as Art.  You can use this new technology to a whole new level of seeing the World.  Therefore art comes through technology.

We experience new forms of art everyday, whether it be through the television, radio, or even your own body.  Dance, however, is the icing of the cake.  Dance brings many forms of art together, visually and emotionally, and it touches the strings inside our soul that makes us want to move our bodies in dance.  It truly is extraordinary.  Therefore art comes through dance.
