Hello and welcome to The World Via.

Today, we are going to talk about creation, about shared experience, about context, about intention. We’re gonna wrestle with judgment, comparison, objectivity, and subjectivity good taste and bad taste. We will consider the deep cultural significance of the thong song and the gaucheness of Michelangelo’s David.

We will discuss the vast swaths of human creativity from our earliest ancestors to our contemporary automatons. We’re gonna run over well-trodden ground, borrow shamelessly from those who’ve come before and present the product as our own creation and then ask what it means if a machine does the same.

Please put on your painters cap, grab your writer’s pen, pick up your drumsticks, put on your dancing shoes,  find your yarn, heat up the kiln, and join us in a dialogue across time and space, today on The World via Art.
