Abstract/Artist's Statement
Why is Nietzsche holds such a unique view of art? Why does he thinks that art is closely related to the development and transformation of our selves? This project provided an attempted explanation of the relations of art to ourselves in the context Nietzsche's works. By inviting John Cage into the conversation with Nietzsche, we might be able to get some new insights of what is the best way to actualize the power of art that Nietzsche envisions in The Gay Science and other works.
