there’s a big issue probably in other
places in the world but we feel it a lot
here in in the states the funding for
arts education is always under stress
and the school boards are wondering do
we cut the art do we keep the science
and there’s tension we know this and I
brought that up with David Byrne and he
had strong views on that as well let’s
check it out in order to really succeed
in whatever math and the sciences and
engineering like that you have to be
able to think outside of the box and you
have to be creative problem-solving and
the the way those disciplines are taught
is not a totally creative the creative
thinking on at all not at all it’s more
like this is this this is this this is
this the creative thinking is in the
arts a certain amount of arts education
doesn’t mean that your your ambition is
to grow up to be a painter but you can
use that kind of thinking and apply it
to anything else business engineering
sin be better at it and you’re better at
that you succeed more and you bring more
to the world because you have these
abilities that came from outside of your
discipline so bringing different worlds
together has definite tangible benefits
and to kind of cut one or separate them
is to injure them and and cripple them
you know I I basically agreed with
everything he said in these interviews I
mean I just he’s a deep thinker he’s
creative he’s educated and so his
thoughts are they’re put together in
ways that really resonated with me when
I think of culture what do I think of I
think you visit other countries and then
they show you what it is that makes them
them and not you and in almost every
case you do this you are looking at
their art you are looking at their
architecture you are looking at aspects
of their civilization that has been in
power
powered by science and engineering and
so for anyone to say let us cut art for
anything else suppose they did that back
in Renaissance Europe what what would
what would Europe be without the support
and interest in a thriving culture of
art as we readily spend money to visit
these cities and go to their museums to
turn around and say now I’m going to cut
the art budget here that makes no sense
to me and it may be that science and art
which we know sort of go together
the Arts and Sciences are colleges of
institutions it may be that art and
science thought of in that way are the
only true things that we create that
lasts beyond ourselves everything else
comes and goes
the leaders the politics the economies
so am i biased I don’t know but what I
do know is if there is a country without
art that’s not a country I want to live
in there’s a country without science
you’re living in a cave we measure the
success of a civilization by how much by
how well they treat their creative
people
