“When people talk about imagination, they tend to think of fantasy or something made-up. But really imagination is a mode of perception. Which is maybe why so many artists have turned to the occult. Artists tend to feel like outsiders. Whether they are actually outsiders or not is also kind of irrelevant.” PeopleThinkingKindArtistImaginationFantasyPerceptionOutsidersIrrelevantOccult Author:Janaka Stucky
“That authentic experience that happens both in the artist and in the audience you can classify as a mystical experience. You can classify it as aesthetic shock, or even a psychedelic experience. Some people seek to recreate that experience through drugs. But the other way that you can do it is through art, and through spectacle. We have those experiences when we go to rock shows, or when we listen to a piece of classical music, or read a particular poem, or see a painting.” PeopleArtArtistAudiencePaintingDrugAestheticMysticalYou Can Do ItClassical MusicPsychedelic Author:Janaka Stucky
