Double digits! In this episode we'll take an abstract look at the idea of an ethical approach to artistic output. Most people can agree: the most powerful way to convey a message is through art – advertising is art, so are books, TV shows, fashion statements and propaganda (AOD 007). Not everyone gets a chance to be heard – to express themselves and have people pay attention – so if and when we have a voice or a platform, do we have a responsibility to "say" anything on behalf of others? To uphold some kind of "moral code"? Why? Why not? In this episode, XV takes a (brief) look at the relationship between morality and creativity, referencing some known philosophical sources along the way. Highlist entries: "IT: Chapter 2", "Joker".
