What if words are a gateway to understanding our brains? What if having a shared language could help us comprehend the human impacts of art?
On the one hand, viewing art — like viewing anything else — can be understood as straight-up biology. Visual inputs are received by nerve cells in the retina and travel from there to the brain’s occipital lobe in the back of the head where they get processed. It’s there, however, in the neurological and psychological theater of the human brain that the experience of art becomes incredibly complex – sometimes so mysterious, powerful, and extraordinary that we struggle for words to describe it.
Art can stop us in our tracks. And it can move us. But what do we really mean when we say we’ve been “moved” by a piece of art?
