On art, foreigners and the Internet

From an interview with art critic/novelist John Berger:
Berger: "Art questions what is--longing for something more, something further. Ruling power mostly defends and justifies (usually with lies) what is. Hence a potential, and often open, conflict between art and the powers that be. And so being an outsider, like being a foreigner, can be a stimulus."
Anonymous Interviewer: "And the isolation of a foreigner?"
Berger: "Being a foreigner/outsider should not mean isolation. The idea of hospitality is essential for art--beginning with the song and theatre, and continuing to concept art."
Anon: "If in the future, free access to the internet becomes a citizen's legal right, that would enable everyone to freely cross national borders and the place of their legal domicile, at any time. Everyone will become a kind of foreigner."
