Where does art come from? I imagine a certain analogy with the discourse and discussions about whether mathematics is “out there” and we discover it, or if we create mathematics? If you look at yourself in the mirror; who or what is looking at you? The self-reference. Douglas Hofstadter develops the theme and so much more in his rich and interesting book “I am a strange loop.” The creative self; there are those who in conversation say “I think …” but still deny that something like one I exist. Interesting. Can awareness recognize itself? You look at yourself; what do mirror neurons reflect?
Anyway, creating is nice I think. And I think my brain agrees.
