Art Quote by Brian Eno
“Stop thinking about art works as objects, and start thinking about them as triggers for experiences... That solves a lot of problems ... Art is something that happens, a process, not a quality, and all sorts of things can make it happen ... [W]hat makes a work of art ‘good’ for you is not something that is already ‘inside’ it, but something that happens inside you...”

Art should be experienced as a catalyst for personal feeling rather than judged as a static object.
In simple terms: Art triggers experiences, not just objects.
Seek experiences, not judgments.
