The John Peel Lecture with Brian Eno

I listened to The John Peel Lecture with Brian Eno where he talks about the meaning of art/creative design. I found the lecture interesting because he said that we need to eat but we don't need to eat luxury foods, we have to wear clothes but we don't have to wear designers. So art can be simple and we do not have to over complicate it. He asked a interesting question which was "is art a luxury?" which it is not as everyone and anyone can be a creative individual and because art can be anything. He said that if you asked 20 scientists what science does, the majority would have the same answer however if you asked 20 artists what art does, there would be 15 different answers because he feels that we are not clear about the subject of creativity. Art is more than what you see because it always have a different meaning behind it so therefore people interpret it in different ways.

I found this lecture very insightful because the questions he poses about art makes you think how we are all creative individuals and how we don't have to be professionals to be an artist. He said that culture is creative arts in which he also said it should not be a luxury but a essential core in our lives which I found very inspiring.
