The signal "Craft" can encompass a big array of objects and practices.
The traditional role of Craft was to uphold institutions of potency, definitive devout faith and to beautify environment. Infancy in the dilatory nineteenth century, some forms of Craft began to assume a role in opposition to mainstream culture. This role has led to more and more far out and all the more weird forms of Craft over the bygone 150 caducity.

Conceptual Art
Conceptual art escapes the troubles of paint and material by existing solely in the realm of the mind. Conceptual art can take the form of spoken word, written instruction or description, or less clearly defined means of communication. The purest form of conceptual art would be a work that existed solely in a person's mind and never communicated at all. The movement failed in this pursuit, and was eventually absorbed into anecdote itself.Happenings
In the 1960s, events confessed as "Happenings" appeared. These were inexplicable performances, ofttimes involving audience familiarity, nudity, and shock tactics, intended to jolt the viewer absent of a complacent mindset and into an awareness of the second. Fluxus and Situationist International were groups of artists that were central to the Period of Happenings. Performances included randomly composed music, paintings using body parts as brushes, throwing pianos off rooftops and various smearing of food on people and objects.
The Dada Movement began on all sides of 1915, especially in reaction to the madness of Sphere Combat I. Although historically remembered as an Craft movement, it was de facto aloof the crosswise: an anti-art movement. Dada attempted, on ice a combination of weird masks, outrageous performances, bs poetry, and artworks trumped-up of trash, to claiming all happening notions of notion and aesthetics, and break down legend to start anew.
Outsider Art
Outsider Art is a catchall term that refers to the creations of people who have not received any formal training in the arts and are frequently associated with less privileged groups and the mentally unstable. French painter Jean Dubuffet helped to popularize this genre through his research on the subject and his huge collection of works. In 1996, the American Visionary Art Museum opened in Baltimore, dedicated solely to works of Outsider Art.
Information Art
Information Art is a relatively new genre that is emerging in conjunction with computers and the Internet. Artists such as Tim Schwartz, who creates works that have more in common with data systems than conventional art, use the immense possibilities afforded to artists through the manipulation of information in novel ways. In a typical work, he developed an algorithm that connected an analog gauge with a Google search, enabling him to create visual representations of levels of public interest in various issues. A humorous example is a gauge labeled "Paris," with "France" at one extreme and "Hilton" at the other. The gauge tracks levels of Google searches for Paris, France and Paris Hilton, and the pointer on the gauge responds accordingly.
