What is the meaning of art? This may seem like an impossibly difficult question to answer. Art is subjective, right? Art is off limits to scientific analysis because it's too broad, vague,  and amorphous, isn't it? Isn't art whatever anyone wants it to be?

We asked the OSCILLATIONS inner circle what they thought was the meaning of art, and we found a common thread. From our investors to thought leaders in immersive technology, celebrated jazz musicians to linguists, neuroscientists to art historians, everyone converged on a definition of art that we use at OSCILLATIONS to guide the work that we do. Join us for a discussion that really gets at the heart of what we're all about and why we do what we do.
