Description

Products delivered to consumers from the art world and journalism industry serve as poignant representations of how any given individual experienced personal and global events at any given time in history. Upon accepting art and journalism as opposite spectrums of the same historical documentation method, millions of everyday visuals can be reinterpreted through the philosophical lens of aesthetics. By constructing a database of pieces through history that embody the intersection between art and philosophy, we can begin to understand how people value objectivity and how information is designated as historically significant.
