Consciousness in the Aesthetic Imagination

It has been a long time since I last read Huxley’s The Doors of Perception, but I remember that he thought that there was an offset between our perception of art and our state of consciousness. This article seems to build on this. Good read…

What can art tell us about the nature of consciousness? Or maybe the question is better framed in McLuhanian terms: What is the message of the medium of art with regard to the nature of consciousness?
