00:00The question that's been interesting me for my whole life really is, what does art do
00:09for us?
00:10Why do we want art at all?
00:15The kind of change that art makes is at a rather deep level of consciousness.
00:22Art is a way we synchronize our feelings about things.
00:27I now have 50 years of work behind me, and I talk about it now as if I had the whole
00:32thing figured out in my head, but I didn't.
00:34They were just feelings of somewhere I was going.
00:38When you create something, you're doing this thing that humans are very good at, which
00:44is imagining.
00:45It's a way of entering another world, looking at its values, seeing how they work out, and
00:51that, of course, all impacts on how we think about the world that we actually live in.
00:59We really need to be able to harness the intelligence and creativity of everybody, actually.
01:05Art is a way we do that.
01:07I think that's a real hope for the future.
01:11Can you tell us your full name?
01:13I am Peter George.
01:16Saint-Jean-le-Baptiste de La Salle, Eno.
