Aesthetic vision perceives the entire universe as an immanent field of forces. At the aesthetic level, we experience all reality as ensouled, wilful, and alive. As the products of aesthetic vision, works of art do the same: the worlds they depict are living, breathing, almost animistic worlds. The forces that compose them are not the blind and brute entities of physics. They are living forces of desire, or what the filmmaker John Carpenter, in his excellent pulp film Big Trouble in Little China, refers to as “furies.” Look at any great painting, any great piece of music, and you will see it. In visual art, colours and line are more than the static spatial entities that they seem to be for the intellect; they are furies vying with one another, forming alliances and striving against each other to make up what is called a composition. The same is true of other art forms.
