From an interview with John Berger:
john_berger: Art questions what is, longing for something more, something further. Ruling power mostly defends and justifies (usually with lies) what is. Hence a potential, and often open, conflict between art and the powers that be. And so being an outsider, like being a foreigner, can be a stimulus.
beta_Nzos: And the isolation of a foreigner?
john_berger: Being a foreigner/outsider should not mean isolation. The idea of hospitality is essential for art--beginning with the song and theatre, and continuing to concept art (when it is good!)
Question: In cyberspace everyone is a foreigner? Over to you, beta!
beta_Nzos: Yes. If in the future, free access to the internet becomes a citizen's legal right, that would enable everyone to freely cross national borders and the place of their legal domicile, at any time. At that point, everyone will become a kind of foreigner.
