    He’s also one of the few ‘adults’ in Starfleet making any new art at all. That deserves a ton of applause on its own.

      I had not even thought about that but you’re totally right. I guess Riker plays the sax and Picard has his flute but I can’t remember either of them writing original songs

        He’s also in pottery class when everyone else is a child. It’s almost shown like Starfleet doesn’t value new art and it’s only a thing for children. Obviously not true but it’s just odd that Data was the only one who was really making new art on the Enterprise and not recycling shit from hundreds of years prior.

          Maybe in the future, the standards for art are so high that amateur art is considered totally cringe.
