pronouncement
In the following context "its pronouncements" is referring to "new art ". True? But, what does "pronouncement" mean in regard to art?
Context:
The art world does not as a whole believe that real knowledge can be found, and it accommodates very many movements and styles and uniquely individual forms of expression and opinion. Some individual artists may be deeply ‘spiritual’ and subscribe to some kind of belief in a metaphysical wholeness. But, by and large, they question and doubt claims to an absolute truth and fixed taxonomies. Meaning depends on countless variables. However, the increasing predominance of science and technology in our daily lives is bound to provide a stimulus for new art and its pronouncements are already being embraced with interest, intelligent questioning and subjective reinterpretation. These are two quite different forms of knowledge, not reconcilable, but mutually curious to each other and as individuals we can accommodate both simultaneously.

But your answers are contradictory. First you say that pronouncements belong to new art and then say they belong to science and technology. Which one is OK? Does "it's pronouncements" equal "the pronouncements of new art"?
