What I understand about art, with my limited knowledge, is that artists try to add ambiguity in their work. Different people have different perceptions of ambiguity. This helps in more number of people connecting with the art. Artists know their boundaries and then try to break boundaries. Just to give an example, we know mostly in theatre artist will perform on stage but I have scene a lot of plays where suddenly someone from audience area will be part of play. So, first understanding the boundary and then breaking the boundary is an important aspect of art. We can say pattern instead of boundary. Breaking the patterns is another thing that artists try to achieve. For example, I saw one artist using both video and his manual voice in his performance. So, this type of merging and demerging is where artist can draw great audience attention. So, the most important fundae is to first understand and master the boundaries and patterns. And then c how one can merge, break and demerge these boundaries and patterns. So, a lot of learning and unlearning goes into it ........:-)
