We process our decisions well before we are consciously aware of making them, i.e. our conscious experience is pretty much a video replay of what's already done. Yeah, it takes a minute to wrap your head around it, but a dude called Libet and many other since have it down.So all art is created subconsciously. How subconscious intent forms is, perhaps, comparable to a snowball (yeah everything's comparable to a snowball in this thread - got them on my mind after getting childishly over-excited at including shakeable snowdomes as magic items in new game), So snowball ideas and concepts cluster and firm-up under some conditions; and melt away or snap-off under other conditions.So an artist has to have a basis for their production or performance that's consistent with a frosty day, a steep slope, motion, and cluster favourable snow. This is tricky given the whole 'in Canada they've twenty types of snow' aspect. But gets a tad more problematic when allowing for a metaphorical child walking up, picking up the snowball and hurling it as a projectile . . .</blockquote>
