OK people
Art as we define it now is not how art was defined when what we would consider the classics were modern. However, Art has evolved to being the abstract creative outlet that somehow is representative of our existence.
Since the industrial age where color and suddenly craft were within reach to replicate easier, art got a little more abstract as creatives didn't like being cornered by technology. Limits were pushed and people did not respond well.
We live in an information age now, to which human experience itself is no longer a representative form of art (the way Abramovic may have championed over her career) because everyday people can basically do any and all forms of "art" via some combination of technological convenience.
Artists respond to this by pushing our types of interactions, our sensory responses, to states of experience because it's literally all we have left as humans before AI comes around.
To which art will likely return to the inks of berries on canvas, because we'll all be dead by the robots.
