Art Versus Science

 

The difference between art and science is science is limited by its own rules, even blinded by them, while art can transcend the infinite and outlast the eternal. (A play on words that proves my point) Art is only as limited as your imagination is...only as limited as how many ways you can play with infinity. While science has to follow a set of structured procedures and rules in order to work and achieve its goals, art doesn't need those rules to operate. Art can be as ordered or Chaotic, as simple or complex, as you want it to be. War is an art because the rules bend and break based on will and opportunity, so treating it strictly as a science would inhibit your creativity. Parenting would be better suited as an art because of how complex children can be and how complex relationships can be.

Since art is where infinity can come alive, art is where reality can get its most complex, and most beautiful. Science has to be limited in order to create the order and structure it needs to do its purpose. It has to follow rules. In art, the artist can make their own rules. Any paradigm in the imagination can be the paradigm of the artwork.
