Art by Vicky V. A lie so beautiful it becomes truth.
Art is a lie,
Art is deception,
Deception so powerful it becomes reality.
Reality is the brain’s playground,
Through which we are invited to roam freely.
Weighing in at a modest three pounds,
Our brain can’t even seem to understand itself,
So how then does it help us understand our world?
Captive to electrical impulses,
Neuroscience = Art Our experiences form our view of the world.
Our brain colors our reality,
A reality painted by the lenses of our choosing.
Captive to nerves and neurons,
Our brain manipulates our past and draws on our
future.
Art by Deception is art,
Max J.
An art the brain has mastered.
Although art is a lie,
It is the brain’s truth.
Although art is deception,
It is the brain’s reality.
The brain is a lie,
A lie so beautiful that it is art.
