theory. practice. creativity. exchange.
Aristotle once stated that the actions of human beings can be reduced to three essential modes:
Theoria — the theoretical. Activities that are directed to the end goal of truth.
Praxis — the practical. Activities that are directed to the end goal of action.
Poiesis — making. Activities that are directed to the end goal of making, or production.
Today, we could add to this:
Reciprocity — commerce. Activities that are directed to the end goal of exchanging values.
Based on this, art could be described as the product of idea, practice, and creativity involving exchanges made between individuals and communities; centers and peripheries.
Artpyre mission is to engage with these activities through art, with the end goal of revealing individual and cultural truths through quality writing and content.
Artpyre is the sister site to Art-l.ink, a tool designed to optimize viewer engagement with contemporary Art on social media.
