The concept of living consciousness is used in order to explain differences between classical art and modern art. The perceived external reality is presented as a result of the re-objectivation—a two-way process, with external objective reality being absorbed into living consciousness, and then re-worked inside it and objectified back again. This created the understanding that what we take for external reality could partially be a result of the work of our living consciousness. In the twentieth century, the new trends in art began experimenting with the idea that a piece of art too is a re-objectivation of living consciousness. In opposition to science, modern art started to replace objectified reality with raw phenomena of living consciousness. Finally, the invention of digital codes for symbols created the opportunity to convert objectified images into animations. Positive and negative consequences of this merger between art and science for information processing, creative thinking, manipulation of mass living consciousness, and education are highlighted and analysed.
