It’s nice to think if aliens were to land on earth, the arts would be operating on some kind of an elevated level, and that they’re collectively going to present the human experience in a way that goes beyond language and literal references and politics and logic and finality. If every creative spirit everywhere was allowed to and encouraged to just go off and really do their little Johnny Appleseed thing, across the board too, not just the visual arts, but that creative and idealistic element in everybody’s involvement in everything they do. If there was no inhibition to just go off and take it all higher and farther and better and more out there and, I don’t know, I guess that’s the stuff they invented laws for, to keep all that in check. But man, just imagine.
