Megascale Art
A post about possible scales of art—from subplanetary to universe.
According to Freeman Dyson, we have “good scientific reasons for taking seriously the possibility that life and intelligence can succeed in molding this universe of ours to their own purposes”, and the purpose of an intelligent race would be either scientific or artistic. In other words, they can try to modify their environments either because of their scientific or artistic ambitions.
