In this Introduction, the author discusses the other articles contained in this volume and attempts to present the processess involved in art as stage preformance of both human and non-human actors. She not only examines the objects and persons but also aesthetic categories and the mechanisms involving categories in art. The author proposes a new language that allows for the description of art as a phenomenon of entangled objects, subjects, media, processes and events.
