Any moment that attracts attention can be reframed as an art experience

Evidence

When a sight, sound, movement, or place attracts your attention during your daily life, consider that moment an “art experience”. Find a way to record an impression of this momentary “art experience” using any appropriate means or media. Share these experiences with each other and make them available to others. — Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, 372
