Q&A continues:

Dear Minister: "There was a comment from a local Namibian artist who thinks that no one actually understands what this project is about, the artist also thinks you have wasted a lot of your time on the project when people do not understanding what it is about. Any comments?"

Minister of Truth: "To begin with, I think that there are too many people calling themselves artists just based on the fact that they can hold a pen in their hand, produce a piece of paper with a draft fro a drawing they refer to as an art piece. Many of these images are being exhibited in the National Art Gallery of Namibia as we speak. It is scary and a sign that there is something wrong with the current status quo thinking "Anything goes". At the same time it is a relief to think anything can actually be art, just do it. Better art pieces, however, can be found in the streets. Standards of what is art, what is design, are slowly being understood. Otherwise, if one can answer the question WHY fluently, something good is going on.

Many people think their opinion is important, when it is not. Silence often better. Do not talk. For me, opinions are a by-product, and quite interesting if there was an engine to record the thoughts, but words are not that interesting since they are conditioned! In the end, what is the so-called-general-opinion is not interesting. I have no impact on this either. This project is a campaign for pro-free-thinking! Please do something to think free. Seriöusly. It is funny that people think there was a huge campaigning machine and masses or people around this project, when the truth is it is a self-initiated project, with no institution funding, a start for distributing messages on the streets. I guess people so not see that individuals can make a difference. People are so wrong! Of course we can. We see things as we are, not as they are. We should break free. Everything is either conditioned by our culture or our conditioned minds. Being an individual is like being your own God. I have been a slave of thinking but refuse it now.

It is sad if people would see art only as a campaign. Art has no end result. Process, the unfinished reality, is the outcome. See Guy Debord and the Society of Spectacle as a reference. I am currently reading a book by Robert Bringhurst "The Tree of Meaning". That is where life can be. In our minds, to expand our conditioned minds. Picasso's most interesting work was his mind where he was trying to process his mind with his hand and what came out was a new perspective.

“When you think intensely and beautifully, something happens. That something is called poetry. If you think that way and speak at the same time, poetry gets in your mouth. If people hear you, it gets in their ears. If you think that way and write at the same time, then poetry gets written. But poetry exists in any case. The question is only: are you going to take part, and if so, how?”

The 19th Century German philosopher G.W.F. Hegel makes reference to the Owl of Minerva in his 'Preface to The Philosophy of Right.' Hegel says: "The Owl of Minerva only takes flight at dusk" By this he means that the culminating wisdom of an historical epoch is gained in hindsight - at dusk - before a new epoch arises.

Thank you good night".
