syncopation

"...a rhythm that disturbs our

perception of time as a regular flow, producing the feeling that time may be coming

out of joint.”

Syncopation causes us to suspend

our original inclinations or reactions to certain stimuli.

This is very representative of

contemporary art, as it pushes us to

rethink

what

we

deem

normal

or

expected.

There is often immense pleasure

found in syncopation.

Contemporary art can thus have two purposes, and this is just Amandine

drawing conclusions.

It can disturb us,

knock us off balance,

and bother us.

However, it can also make us feel complete,

 and fulfill the urge for change.
