Key Notes
definition
Jiang names the relation between artist and viewer co-creation: the artwork provides a reality and the viewer's imagination makes that reality more vivid and dynamically alive.
model
Jiang agrees that empathy matters because art can put the viewer in the artist's shoes, but he sharpens the mechanism by saying the artwork reorders the viewer's emotional state toward that empathy.
definition
Jiang names beauty as the missing mechanism: beauty shocks the emotions, focuses them on the artwork, and begins the movement toward gratitude and connection with the artist.
