By this definition, art is less an object and more a process of exploration.

Even creative work needs scheduling. The greatest writers and artists didn’t wait for inspiration. They kept a strict daily schedule for creating their art. A routine triggers inspiration because your mind and body learn that ideas emerge at that time. The world’s greatest achievements were squeezed into existence by deadlines.

Even if the world outside were to remain static, the information we took in would still be ever-changing. And so too would the work we bring forth. The person who makes something today isn’t the same person who returns to the work tomorrow.
