Excellent and thought-provoking. Perhaps this explains why we value art. Why is Van Gogh more revered (at this time at least) than Rembrandt, the ultimate symbolic realist? Although, at the end, he even veered off into semi-impressionist directions. And Picasso? While not a neuroscientist, he understood how to elicit tacit knowledge in viewers.
As one who studies information in all its forms, speech and linguistics are just instances of millions of information processing systems created by life. What are the universal structures and semantics that underlie all the diverse multidimensional information systems created by biology?
I don't know much about Art, and still have a lot to learn On the first part, Art needs both the expression of the artist and the interpretation. Much of the expression can be intuitive, tacit, and value loaded, which are not always interpreted correctly. Rembrandt is definitely more difficult for today's audience than Van Gogh. The second part I think belongs to Semiotics and Biosemiotics
