The New Yorker Radio Hour
Brian Eno Knows “What Art Does”

Its main point is to make your feelings change, is to give you feelings that you perhaps didn't have before or did have before and want to have again or want to experiment with. So And it seems very simplistic to say, oh, it's all about feelings. But actually, I think it is. Feelings are overlooked by all of those people who think bright children shouldn't do art.

They're the same people who think that feelings are the sort of irrelevant part of life. sort of simple-minded and inarticulate and can't be quantified. Feelings are rather slippery, undefinable stuff. I think feelings are the beginning of everything. It's our first line of contact with the world.

I'm glad you did. There is some optimism. I mean, I am pessimistic in the short term. Things really are looking quite bad. And what I noticed, though, that as things are getting worse
 People are getting organized too. And what it seems to me now is needed is some kind of coalescence. I often quote this Russian writer. He's a Russian sort of social historian, I guess you'd say.

His name is Sergei Yurchak. He says, revolutions happen in two phases. The first is when somebody realizes that everything is not working.
