In contemporary art, conflicting perceptions of reality promote a reversal in the role of reason in the construction of reality and truth. In this context, it is possible to consider other beacons for the aesthetic and the political, deconstructing the false notion of universality based on binarities such as rationality and irrationality, civilized and primitive. The thinking of authors such as Isabelle Stenger, David Harvey, António Damásio, Ellen Dissanayake is considered in this study in the foundation of a reflection on contemporary art and the criticism on the role of science, taking into account the context of the historical trajectory of imperialism and domination of developing countries by large corporations. Capitalism in crisis assumes evidence in this scenario and, as a tool for analysis, the evolon evolutionary model.
