Art is a collaboration between God and the artist.

-André Gide

Found art, more commonly known as the readymade, derives significance from the designation placed upon it by the artist. This epistemological license is analogous to the practice of divination in that a subject is acting as interpreter of otherwise insignificant phenomena or material. When explicating a sign the soothsayer proclaims it a communiqué from the Divine. By exalting the object to the status of art the artist declares it a vessel for Sublime meaning. Both are delivered through the labors of their professors. The acts are commensurate. Is it that the artist, like the shaman, aspires to touch upon the robes of God? What threshold do these objects of human creativity purport to cross? What lies beyond if not other products of imagination: faith, myth, and hope.
