THE EXPERIENCE OF ART - THE EMPIRIA OR EXPERIMENT? (Doswiadczenie sztuki - empiria czy eksperyment)

In contemporary aesthetics exists an belief, that the experience of art is the primary fact, which initiates and leads theoretical reflection, as also is the state basis of creating, valuing and the opinion on art. Present text is the test of philosophical recognition of relationship between fi eld of products of new art as well as with context formative it experiences. Author motivates thesis, that radical changes in present art have their source in of meanings consisting on primary notion of experience changes. The present artistic practice goes away from aesthetical experience as empiria and the contemplation and used the notion of experience as experiment and investigation, which dismisses art from her proper functions and brings it rather to aggressive ideology of scientism. The recognition of this progressive change of meanings in founding the art notion of experience has the important consequences both for understanding of present art and for describing it theory.
