The Art of Sleep post

It was around 1:30 am that I decided to watch “The Art of Sleep” yesterday. It was not at all what I expected when I clicked on the link. The black letters and white background accompanied with the jazzy elevatoresque music made me want to fall asleep several different times. The video also seemed to ramble at several different points. There was one point where the screen read “The Japanese are making some good cheesecake these days.” My mind then started to wander to food and the Japanese, then Japanese food. However, I think I got the main point of the video, which was that everything is art, art is futile. According to dictionary.com art is the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance. I guess it is up to every individual to decide what art is for them. I certainly do not find dogs or turds to be considered art, but maybe that is just me. After watching “The art of sleep” I couldn’t help but look around my room thinking that perhaps everything really is art. Was my trashcan art? Or maybe even the thermostat on the wall? It’s safe to say that this video confused me a little bit. I’m not really sure what the purpose of us watching this video is, but I’m assuming I’ll find out tomorrow in class.
