First, what does it mean to create? You've reflected on this in the legend of jupiterhand, but I also like the take here. Unlike so many I know, you don't take the Faustian route, at least not the route taken in the first play; instead I feel your gaze my own gaze directed toward a fractured double mirror, one that reflects, contorts, offers alarming and fascinating metaphors for the hermeneutic cycle.
Second, what defines something as "art"? The text here asks the question implicitly. Realism mixed with unease, a sense of alienation perhaps. I'm reminded of Shklovsky, but also of all your other texts, which I can see before me in my mind's eye.
What is human? what are "human rights" -- what does that even mean? The contrast of 87 and 88 extremely illuminating. Contrasts. Are they part of what make art work?
