I've never had an original thought in my lifeand there's tons of people on the internet happy to tell me just that.

Public art is ephemeral by nature. Google 's new project not only catalogs an artist's work but archives it and allows people to see the art long after it has disappeared.

I'm mischievous. The idea of taking risks and having real-world consequences energizes me.

If being original means having to throw paint in front of a jet turbine to hit a canvas 50 ft away then lets not be original.

Free speech is important whether you like what's being said or not. The reason why it's so important is that the entire spectrum of ideas needs to be heard so that the best ones are embraced and rise to the top. If you're a liberal and don't like conservative speech and you try to stifle that conservative speech, you need to be prepared for your own progressive speech to be stifled when the power shifts out of your favor.

I do think that copyrights and intellectual property are important - it's important to be able to keep people from making verbatim copies of a particular creation that could somehow hurt the creator. If I spend time conceiving and making a piece of art and somebody else sees that it has market value and replicates it in order to steal part of my market, then that's not cool.

If the idea that my safety can only be enhanced by putting other people's privacy and safety in danger, then I don't want to be more safe.
