jeremy questions

1. Does the premise of condensing hundreds of religions and philosophies into one 2 hour-long documentary seem ill-serving to the history and magnitude of the subject matter?  I do understand why. it is important to see clearly and not make judgement


2. Do you consider your religious or non-religious beliefs before creating art?  I do Not


3. Sartre's understanding of life is that it reflects the experience of one's existence.  How does your artwork reflect the experience of your existence? I think that life experiences are what shapes you and influences your art. 


4. "The fact that we all suffer from the day we’re born to the day that we expire…is funny."  What part should humor play in the discussion of religion and mortality? It is important to take everything with a grain of salt and don't take life to seriously. It is important to be humorous they say laughing adds years to your life 


1. Is it ultimately futile for me to investigate an experience I may never consciously take part of? It is important to search for those question in life, it is what we do as humans, why we try to solve everything that we think needs to be solved


2.Is my pursuit of personal meaning through the creation of art absurd in relation to my perception of the meaninglessness of the universe? everything is absurd from a different perspective. 


3.If I were to die and "become my past" as explained by Sartre, how would my artwork play a role in that                     
   process? Would my work become the past as well? Is it possible for my artwork to stay part of the present after I die? Your art work would be remembered by the ones who knew you and your art that is finished is already in the past. 

4. Am I qualified to explore death in my work?  Does one have to be personally touched by death to be able to explore it in their work? You can do what ever you want with your art as long as it mean something to you.
