As we increasingly grow frustrated with the dizzying pace of progress. As we wrestle with technological advancements that leave us bewildered. As we leave behind significant swathes of our human brethren, left to wallow in poverty, discrimination, and hardship. Yet another existential threat might possibly upend life as we know it: another form of life.
Far-fetched? Impossible? Too speculative? But, ah. Speculation is what artists are good at. They can excel in it. Revel in it, even.
They relish it. They reflect on it. And they do a staggering job of regurgitating all the ideas percolating in their amazingly complicated minds.
We would expect reactions, of course, to be varied. And visceral. It can run the gamut from disbelief, to awe and veneration, to delight. It can be one of denial. Or something profound.
And so with these artists. From deep reflection to shallow absorption - these artists imbue, translate and represent the multitude of reactions a contact scenario can trigger. And regardless of the potentially endless variety - there is one thing they do have in common: an ability to channel otherworldliness.
A concept of time and space that isn’t in this continuum, but in some other dimension. Welcome to the imagination, unleashed.
