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
