What if creativity was, literally, time travel?
Artists and writers very often predict future events in their work. Skeptics dismiss these anomalies, but what if they hold the key to the creative imagination?
In this mind-bending course, the 40,000-year history of art is reconsidered as a literally prophetic enterprise—from Ice Age cave paintings to the novels of Virginia Woolf and Philip K. Dick, the films of Werner Herzog and David Lynch, and even the songs of The Beatles. Dr. Wargo, author of the acclaimed book Time Loops, makes a case for the inherently time-defying nature of inspiration: Creators often channel their own futures — and the future of their culture — in their art. It is an entirely new way of thinking about one of humanity’s oldest questions: Where, it asks, do new ideas come from?
Eric Wargo has a PhD in anthropology and is the author of several books on precognition, creativity, and time, including the acclaimed Time Loops. In addition to Morbid Anatomy, Eric has taught courses at the Pacifica Graduate School. Eric and his book Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self are featured in the new film, Don't Dream About Me. By day, Eric works as a science writer in Fairfax, Virginia.
