These are not aesthetic isues - but art historical and philosophical ones - the question of aesthetics are those of why does the ordering of certain information in a certain manner create invoke, or induce a stronger and perhaps more meaningful (pleasurable) self-reflective experience than another - as for Adorno - it seems that such experiences generated by works of art were no longer possible because of historical and cultural conditions - my understanding is that aesthetics has to do with the quality of experience not art -
