My man! Human creativity is an evolutionary process. An extraordinary one, but it emerged from biological evolution without some magical happening.
I recently completed an art project I've been working on for the last 4.5 years comprised of video clips stitched together to form narratives. The story and message is told via their arrangement and interconnections: https://vimeo.com/specalblend
My hope is to inspire others who have a passion for creativity; to make art for artists. I don't know if this is something you'd like, but it is my great pleasure to share it with you.
