AI Interpretation
The page treats art as an experience that is inseparable from language.
The compact statement turns art from an object into an experienced condition. Its final claim, that there is always language, suggests that interpretation, naming, or inner speech is already present inside perception.
Four lines collapse the gap between art and speech: 'If you are the / Experience of / art, there is / always language.' To be the experience itself, not merely its witness, is to be inside language without exit.
