Reflection about art, future, artists and the anthropology of the body

Our vision of the body is the daughter of our vision of ourselves. 
In a society where they are lacking the basic values ​​of family, work, spirituality, the human need to cogitate in binary, good and evil, it can't be satisfied.
We don't have data or statistics that can help us to decripare the future of this trend towards a vision of a society that lives in the body of the contradictions so great.
I question the observation of tribal societies to develop models of reference on the body, because we have to deal with a society increasingly technocratic and reifying. We begin to develop the habits that go unnoticed, such as communication via chat. It's a small example to show what we talk about in this article.

In Internet time interaction to consolidate a human relationship are different. A person whom we know in chat, or on social networks, for a year, is equivalent to a friendship in the real world that date 10 years. This is only one example of how our parameters are undergoing mutation. Another example is to find work or love through the Web Many features that we thought confined to a direct human contact are now delegated to the virtual space, this is a fact.

The body of the future is the result of a search for a strong identity.  
It's the hybridization with animals, technology, nanotechnology, sectarian beliefs, re-reading of the symbolism through markentig (or as a reaction to it). In practical terms, we are proposing the changes corporal increasingly marked by a segment of the population in industrialized countries. Piercing, branding, tattooing, are increasingly seen as having no interest in the eyes of fashion, because it will become a constant spread to all levels of society.

The medicalization of the field body modification, is a pale attempt to stem a chaotic drift that requires a greater interest on the part of the western states.
The riappropriation image of oneself leads to a diversification of the mass. A paradoxical effect that needs several considerations:
a more recognizable identification of social groups
a level of social communication more direct
a different interaction with the social models of reference (no more than the family as a pin but friends as a new family)
 

Individuals who don't adapt to the new global vision of recognizable brands using physical, they will be considered against the trend, in practice the opposite of the current state of things. This type of reversal is already underway in country like Italy, Spain, Germany, etc.. At present, we begin to glimpse something observing the above-mentioned countries.
All ranges are affected by the social phenomenon. By brands corporal individuals communicate what is important in their philosophy of life. A different aesthetic vision of themselves than previous generations imply different choices of life, a necessary condition for overcoming the current crisis.
 

The artist who works on corporeality isn't aware of this change in course. The awareness of the artists is needed to control the quality and safety of people, more and more, choose arises to change their appearance.
The fashion of the tattoo is not farms existed, it has never abandoned our culture. 

Whether in prison or in religious pilgrimages, practice dermographic has accompanied man since Neolithic times.
Our vision of art is detached, lost in thoughts hedonistic. The current man does not live the art, it has become the predominance of upper classes.
 

The body art is the only artistic revolution possible, because this implies to take personal responsibility of their own choice. In addition, the practice of corporal modification are painful, the main factor of honesty and reconstruction of private rites of passage. Stages of life, the birth of a child, marriage, death of a family member, have an opportunity to make a mark on the body diary emotion.
The lack of interest in the formation of this artistic category is indicative of a targeted underestimation of the phenomenon.  

Why?
Up to you to find the answer.
