Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Eridians’ art forms head-canon.

Humans’ primary sense and therefore means to engage with the world is sight. And it is reflected on the development of our culture and our earliest ways of self expression.

Everyone knows the handprints:

But that is not the oldest art we’ve found (though probably one of the most famous ones). There are quite a few others, but the oldest known form of art was a shell carving, dated 500 000 BP. Made not even by Homo Sapiens but by Homo Erectus.

So knowing this, how would art form directed to hearing look like? (I’m not talking about songs, although, they undeniably would’ve been one of their first ways of self expression. I would like to explore physical forms of art here.)

Surprisingly, we have quite a few examples to draw from here on Earth. Structures and installations created with an explicit purpose of making sounds:

But all that is a handmade art. And from our culture we know that first art pieces were inspired by the art of nature. Humans saw nature and replicated or used it to express themselves.

So let me show you natural structures that can “sing” and therefore be the first inspiration for ancient Eridians.

The cave on the second picture even called “Bell Cave” because of its incredible acoustics.

So what is the conclusion?

In my humble opinion, first art in Eridian culture followed these natural structures — hollowed out rocks, carvings that captured wind, canyon-like structures that guided streams of air.

With time they, would, of course, advance and diverse. And the development of xenonite would cause an explosion of art because of its versatility.

It is safe to assume (from what I wrote above), that in modern times they construct marvelous structures that create intricate and complex songs both artificially and naturally.

Imagine Eridians “gallery” being the whole valley near the city, that is not only an amazing listening experience, but also built in complex and unique patterns and from various materials that illustrate those sounds when echolocation picks them.

And I’m sure Eridians, just as we are, have a lot more art forms than just these (these being simply the most obvious from what we know).
