📷 Our Imagination Is A Camera Of The Mind

“Art’s ironic pragmatism is its potential to look to the creative potential of science, to borrow from and play with its advances, to fulfill the desires of imagination.”

— Edward Rooster

We recently wrapped up our second monthly writing challenge over at the OSV Discord. 

This month’s theme was The Intersection of Art and Science. 🎨🔬

Congratulations to our winner, friend-of-the-show

Edward Rooster

(Infinite Loops appearance), whose wonderful piece explores the past, present and future overlap between art and science, revealing how our imagination operates as a “camera to create pictures of the future.”

We’ve always been big fans of Edward’s poetic, lyrical prose, and it was on full display throughout his essay:

“Art connects us to worlds which may already exist. Our imagination wanders far enough to discover them. Our power of creation gives us new tools, or new uses for old ones, to explore.

Art captures and recreates moments when optical fantasy becomes physical reality.”

You can read the full essay over at Edward’s Substack,
