Art has always had as its test in the long term the ability to speak to our innermost selves.

Video artists being at the low end of the totem pole economically, one of the ways we survive is to go around showing work and giving these talks.

Human beings have always been creative. The guys who were making the pyramids, and archaeological research has showed us this, had little figurines made by the workers, to express their devotion to their god.
