aesthetic and politics

Jacotot said that "people relished in the way created their own stories when they observed certain artworks or plays, and people possessed the capacity to create their own narratives". I do agree with this because thats what I do when I look at the work, re-interpret and create my own understanding of certain works in a simple way. I think this is another idea of creating relational exchange between the art and the viewer not in a physical but in consciouse way. For example, people created an image of 9/11 ghostly appearance in twin tower when plain crashed and it raises the issues or argues whether its image is real or not; and also it steps into another discussion about a belief in the supernatural e.g. ghost. Whether the image is true or not, its image is created by the cause of public unrest throughout the US and the world, which signified as political problem.
Collecting images and information creates another narrative, transforms and develops from original into a new form of story.
