This kind of art emphasized the artist's thinking, making any activity or thought a work of art without the necessity of translating it into physical form:
It revolutionized art at the end of the 20th century, by breaking free of all material concerns, even those of visual or physical representation. An idea doesn't need material embodiment; it can function just like that, as an idea. It can be produced immediately, in an interaction between the creator and recipient. This is also a deconstruction of traditional art, which heavily relied on skills and craft.
