In this day and age, is it possible for a work of art (writing,

I think mostly the work would be recognized as revolutionary only by fellow revolutionary thinkers at first (for example, the Enlightenment movements) which would then dissapate into mainstream thought. I truely hope Extentialism is the next big thing, we humans really have to clean this shit up.

To answer your question, I don't think a single piece of art or media or entertainment would have any large scale impact. It would be more of an ideology slowly spreadig, which would then be tied into media and entertainment.

Well I doubt it would ever happen, but if I did I guess everyone would sit around all day and get depressed, or go back to their daily routine. I just wished everyone could realize that we are monkeys with mush for brains, on a rock that won't die, and no matter how hard we try our society will never be perfect because humans themselves are imperfect. I don't want to sound like I'm up on my high horse, but I think us humans are a little too distracted by entertainment.

Nope, unless it's pop-media phenomenal typa engineered for that shit type shit, it'll influence the culture post-mortem, that is, long after the artist or art has passed

Canonisation happens over time, rarely does a work of art become canon overnight.

And yes, it happens. Star Wars and Jaws changed the movies radically and pretty quickly. Citizen Kane before that, although not as fast (it took 20 years for it to be considered the best film ever). The Beatles changed popular music. Duchamps changed the artworld, but that took a couple of decades as well.

There have been plenty of art movements based around the idea that everything is illogical pointless nonsense.

Absurdism and Dadaism come to mind.

>mfw people always talk about how art is dead and not progressing when the very idea of this is impossible.

art reflects society, as society changes art will always change with it,

If you think art is just early modern European sculptures and paintings then yeah you would think we've hit a brick wall - but it's not.

In 500 years this period of art will be just as clear and well-defined as any other period.
