Artist Laura Kaplan in conversation with talkPOPc Resident Philosopher Carolina Flores on talkPOPc Topic #3 Art as Cognition: "Art as non-linguistic, unconscious thought"
Timestamps:
- 00:25: Laura's background in Art and the role of intuition. Feeling over thinking
- 02:25: Artists are philosophers, but don't have the words they need
- 03:15: Art as moving meditation, bringing thinking and feeling together unconsciously
- 05:50: Physicality versus Words. Words may not be as honest
- 07:55: Syzygy and the synchronicity of words. Open endedness of interpretation
- 10:35: Perspective and instantaneous judging. We want to hear what people think, but they're not necessarily right
- 13:20: We always draw ourselves. Interpretation has more to do with us, than what the art itself is saying
- 15:55: The dangers of prior knowledge. Are we honest when we know too much, or do we curate?
- 19:30: The role of making and experiencing art. Balancing agency and inputs. Combining the extremes
- 22:15 The role of art in Laura's growth. Wanting to avoid influence
