Is literature the artform with the deepest reach?
As a photographer myself i enjoy a lot the act of creating images, but i reckon the reach of photography is kinda superficial. I dont know anyone who has felt his life changed because of a photo, but that happens often with books.
Music can be pretty thrilling as an abstract sensory experience, but how deep it goes into actually shaping someones life? Not taking lyrics or subcultures into consideration, but music alone and itself.
Well done sculpture can be pretty moving, but thats it.
What do you think, is literature the most packed and dense and actually mind rearranging art form?

literature is inherently "mind rearranging" because its form and content are made up of language, which is what constructs the human mind, more or less. so literature is the most direct/accessible artform because its project is essentially to control the reader's thoughts as directly as possible.
that doesn't mean that photography or music or architecture can't be moving, but literature, and more specifically poetry, is probably the most direct artform.
Yes and photoghraphy is the shallowest "art"

so far, yes. cinema could have been, but literature had a really long head start so, yeah.

i don't think that's true
