I think that there's space for creativity in the mingling of genres.
That's part of why the LOTR movies are working so well -- they aren't pure fantasy, they're drama set in a fantastic/historical location, and therefore scream of creativity.
I realize that I'm suggesting that creativity exists in the mingling of two old parts, but ... there are so many old parts out there that plenty of new material can spring from it.
I mean ... art-cars. Art + Cars. And Gay Nude Yoga, near my pal greg's house in SF: Gay + Nude + Yoga. Much new can come out of much old. All depends upon your definition of new.

And sure, the mere fact that we're discussing art is performance art. I sense a butterfly on Alpha Centauri trembling.
