Art, once like us, was destined to end up in dust too. Perhaps he would survive a few hundred years, or perhaps even a few thousand, but eventually he too would disintegrate into dust. But with recent developments in digital technologies, there is a new permanence in our thoughts and our art. It can exist in the cloud. Our photographs and drawings can remain intact, untouched by the hands of time, resistant to fading or the accumulation of dust or disintegration. A political philosopher, Hannah Arendt was interested in this idea of ​​the permanence of art which she called “the non-mortal home for mortal beings”. Now that our art is more permeating than ever, does this mean anything about our permanence? Potentially, if current technology and the Internet attached themselves to our art and ideas, they could exist for millions of years, making them almost immortal. As Arendt says, can we find homes in art that can survive? Will art be free from the fate of becoming dust? Artist Robert Smithson once said that "art can set fire to dust" and now it seems that perhaps that is the case
