Art Wired: The science behind art covers the evolution of art and why it was important to human survival. Using scientific studies and principles for attraction as a guide, the author attempts to break away from conventional definitions for art. At its heart, May contends that all humans evolved with 'art wiring' and sets to prove it by analyzing its roots and its use today.
The author analyzes how visual expression has become the refuge of well-intentioned but misinformed practitioners and educators. Calling into question many of the accepted tropes of the art community, the author re-explores art using neuroscience and evolution to explain human preference. He chronicles art's contributions to science, economics, politics, and culture to determine its value to humanity and to ascertain objective measurement devices to define and quantify it.
