Couple of Dewey citations with an artistic theme in the blogosphere this week:
Alex Starace at Professor Yeti mentions Art as Experience as part of a discussion of how art can communication vital emotional and contextual information that can’t be boiled down to mere facts. It’s a very interesting piece, although I kinda wish there was some mention of Dewey’s parallel argument in Experience and Nature that science and thinking is, itself, a kind of art, although in that case Dewey was defining art much more broadly.
Meanwhile, Rob Comber at Controlled by Remote uses one of my favorite passages from Art as Experience to talk about the different user experiences provided by different models of web site. A brief but interesting post.
