Overview

What if the gallery wall text is the problem? In this provocative fusion of cognitive linguistics, semiotics, and artistic manifesto, I argue that institutional curation has quietly colonised the space between artwork and viewer - replacing genuine encounter with prescribed meaning. The solution isn't simpler art. It's *coalescent art*: a radical practice in which augmented reality extends human perception and artificial intelligence generates productive creative uncertainty, together producing aesthetic encounters that need no curatorial translation. Drawing on embodied cognition, Peircean semiotics, and original research into human-AI collaboration, the author dismantles the jargon-fortified authority of contemporary art discourse and rebuilds aesthetic theory from the spectator's body outward. This is a book for anyone who has stood before a conceptual artwork feeling excluded by its explanatory apparatus - and suspected, rightly, that the apparatus itself was the problem.
