Unism and Art

Unism can be related to the arts in many ways. Its first and foremost application would be to discern between art and other forms of human activity, providing criteria for aesthetical judgment. In particular, this could give hints for both practicing the arts and artistic perception in a universal way, in accordance the very idea of conscious activity. In this respect, artistic creativity is an objective necessity and demand for any activity at all; unism supports artistry of all kinds as an essential part of the everyday life.
