Art project "Point to the Eye: a Drop Into the Horizon" is conceived by sculptors: Zoran Srdić Janežič and Jiri Kočica and with the help of scientists from National Institute of Chemistry Slovenija: Prof. Dr. Roman Jerala and Ph.d. candidate Vid Kočar, Laboratory for Biotechnology L12. The help of Rado Markovič in the philosophical part of the project is gratefully acknowledged. Project was curated by Jože Slaček from "Kulturni inkubator" and was made possible by the European Capital of Culture, Maribor, Slovenia, 2012. Tables about the philosophy was proof read by Jana Putrle Srdić.
The project's aim is to connect artistic, scientific and philosophical ways of thinking. Arthur Danto stated in his writings that when conceptualism started art became a form of philosophy... Approximately sixty years before Danto, Walter Benjamin said that art liberated itself from the traditional religious function - first with l'art pour l'art and after that with politics which replaced the religious core of art... Hannah Arendt considered politics as the ultimate consequence of philosophy. Therefore, when we talk about contemporary art, which is bound with science, we have to rethink its connection to philosophy, which once filled the niche of science, but is separate today. However since according to Benjamin art is involved in politics and plays an influential role in contemporary society, we also must be aware of the connection between philosophy and politics. How do we see the perspective of philosophy and art? Where is the vanishing point of the postmodern multi-perspective?
