You know those laws that protect corporations but leave animals (and many individuals) out in the cold? Well we have them here in Canada. We also have polar bears that are canibalizing each other - a not very freakish by-product of the diminishment of polar ice floes, their natural hunting grounds. As a law student and environmentalist, it's demoralizing.
Everytime I hear about someone who is combining intellectualism and art to create an alternative vision, I feel excited. I've just about given up on our generation, but what if we can instill a more refined humanity in the children? Imagine, a generation that places ecosystems and life forms before profit and convenience. I think that art has been and will continue to be one of the key mechanisms for instilling such values.
Plus, now I have to go to New York to see some of that crazy artwork. I love New York!
