Through the lenses of massive technological innovation, political  and corporate corruption, environmental destruction, poverty, prejudice, and war, modern society is reaching a critical point, and the cultures that we live in, in their brutal and dehumanizing manifestations, are heading for rapid transformation.  How this transformation will occur remains unclear, but if this transformation is to occur in a positive way, the artists and free thinkers of the world will play a vital role. 

Art  is an extremely powerful, potentially sacred tool for shaping reality, and establishing, communicating, or reinforcing belief systems.  We see that very clearly in popular culture, where art is used to establish trends, uphold cultural and religious beliefs, and manufacture identities and cultural narratives.   In the wealthy nations of the world, the most ubiquitous forms of art include commercial advertisements, corporate television, film, and video games, which generally help to constellate an ongoing cultural distraction from global problems, or even serve as a means to promote or take advantage of negative aspects of humanity for profit.  Art used in this context is a profaning of the sacredness of life.

Yet art can also bring awareness to problems, create inspiration for those who seek uplifted awareness, and establish a context for developing a more promising future.   This site features information about art's role in today's mass culture, as well as art that is being created for the sacred purpose of  helping our fellow man and preserving the life giving systems of the planet.
