...Do we really possess the strength to imagine anything, or are we bound to a collective imagination of our era?
and also, what are your favourite flavour crisps?

strength is a misnomer, but otherwise our imagination is limited to the combination of our experience. smoky bacon.

our imagination is limited to the combination, deconstruction, and re-amalgamation of our experience.

"anything" is a term that tends to infinity, so its impossible. but if we couldnt imagine something new to push a new era wed been stuck somewhere already.

Shit happens. And "shit" can mean a lot of things. Everyone in this thread is correct. And everyone is wrong too.
I don't really like any flavor of "crisps". However, if they had, like......watermwlon flavored ones, I'd down an entire pallete. But that's just my opinion.

The television screen is the retina of the minds eye.. Therefore, whatever appears on the television screen, emerges as raw experience for those who watch it.

I think the human factor of the 'era' is there but imo it's collective..what ever your imagination is: it has to be explainable..you can imagine things that you think you can not explain but those "fantasies" rely on a structure based in our collective subconsious, otherwise you would never have the imagination, and they are explainable in a way you just dont know yet.
fav+ cheese cheetos!

I have dreams quite often about things I have never experienced before.
Therefore I think imagination exists.
When I think about the way that the Arts progress and people get influenced by each other, there must still b someone who had the imagination that created the thing everyone else imitated in some ways and progrssed from. Therefore imagination MUST exist. Or is that creativity, is this something different?
How can one look at the architecture of someone like Gaudi and say that those crazy, naturalistic forms came out of personal expereince? Unless he had weird dreams. But then those dreams must have come from his imagination, too!
Interesting question, good post.

not only we possess the strength to imagine, we possess the strength to realize too.
