Abstraction And The Idea Of Sports, Julia Taszycka
Abstraction And The Idea Of Sports, Julia Taszycka
English Language Institute
In both art and sports, abstract behavior is very noticable. During the game players act in a very specific and irrational way. This kind of behavior is cause by different perception and attention to things that don't matter in everyday life. In relation to behavior and perception, the notion of purpose is also very abstract in sports. Sport activities themselves serve no purpose, exactly like artworks. Their meanings exist only in specific context.
