The basis of the Possible World Theory is the idea that reality is a universe composed of a plurality of distinct elements, no one sees it the same way and it´s not enough for anyone. God as aDemiurge creates the world for us (humans) to live in, but gave us the possibility to transform it, that´s why we became demiurges, we recreate the world. Aristotle called this Mimesis or therepresentation of reality, we imitate nature to recreate the world. “Aristotle considered epic poetry, tragedy, comedy, and music to be imitative, each varying in imitation by medium, object,and manner. For example, music imitates with the media of rhythm and harmony, whereas dance imitates with rhythm alone, and poetry with language. The forms also differ in their object ofimitation. Comedy, for instance, is a dramatic imitation of men worse than average; whereas tragedy imitates men slightly better than average. Lastly, the forms differ in their manner of imitation –through narrative or character, through change or no change, and through drama or no drama. Aristotle believed that imitation is natural to mankind and constitutes one of mankind's advantagesover animals.”
So Art is born as the necessity to recreate the world, to understand it and to feel part of it while going back or reaching God again. We create Art recreating nature, we aretrying to reach the stars where Gods live in. In this order there are three possible worlds:
1. The possible worlds that are imagined, which consists of all our dreams, formed by thehypothetical events for understanding life.
2. The possible worlds we create, formed of beliefs, obligations, desires, goals, plans, relationships.
3. The possible worlds that readers, observers,interpret of the created worlds.
So each human being has its own expression, its own inner voice. Art is a unique creation, but when a piece of art is produced sequentially becomes a craft.
