talkPOPc Participant Levi talks about how understanding art is social and cognitive with Resident Philosopher Carolina Flores at our spring Gallery Conversation Event outside of Postmaster's Gallery.

Timestamps

• 00:10: Introductions, favorite things about Art and engaging us
• 01:05: What do we learn after rationalizing our responses to Art? Seeing how other see and sharing perspectives to get to know other people
• 02:00: Why cultural artifacts exist? What's special about art versus the news or some other stimulus? It's more confined, concise and intentional
• 03:45: Good art is polarizing and allows people to engage with ideas they'd otherwise avoid or with ideas they deeply enjoy. Gives us perspective on people that normal interactions can't
• 05:00: Horror movies, not wanting to engage with the negativity, but it's still art! Just art that takes us to an emotional space we don't enjoy. 
• 07:40: Engaging with other's notions of art. Taking on their perspective and getting past self-limits. Immersive theater and the experience of immigrants that we can connect to
• 10:05: Artwork taking on a life of its own. An entity within interaction, an expanded idea of what we can engage with in the art world
