Abstract:
Mathematical logic claims to have a model for various kinds of thinking (mathematical, philosophical, scientific and...) which can provide us with a language at the same time. The relation between art and logic, when art is defined on its own, is somewhat unexplored, as opposed to when it's defined scientifically or philosophically. There are arguments in the literature asserting that art cannot fit into the frame of mathematical logic. The inter-connection between thinking and art has been fairly investigated, even though it's been mainly believed that art is more engaged with emotions rather than rationality; thinking about artistic value, artistic credibility, proof in art, etc... It's not common to evaluate a piece of art by the amount of time spent on it or the materials it's been made of or any other measures outside the boundaries of art itself. It is just inside this framework that a piece of art is being examined, evaluated, argued and debated on. There has to be a generic language to cover all these interactions of the artistic world. We explore how logic can be used to interpret this language and how it's related to thinking.
