Coral Reefs
| Philyra: | What's this have to do with coral reefs? |
| Andrei: | Nothing. Does art require a social agenda? |
| Philyra: | I tend to think so. It may not seem obvious, but anything concerned with values is inherently political. Every choice we make has political reverberations. |
| Ellesha: | That's a popular myth. However, the pixels on this screen have no political message. By looking at them, we unload our baggage & build up interpretations. It's all simply the work of our minds – not the art itself. |
| Elijah: | That suggests art has no inherent meaning. However, I think humans are genetically programmed to ascribe "meanings" to events. |
| Ellesha: | We are. The only 'meaning' which exists is in the mind of each viewer. |
| Philyra: | That sort of thinking leads to passivity. It's utterly spineless. That, in fact, is precisely the way that ruling elites would like us to think. |
| Andrei: | Anyway [gerp]. Blue iz ah pretty color . . . |
