Your actions within your physical space (presuming you have a mobile telephone) are one of the things being recorded, to be cross-referenced with what you buy, who you talk to, when, for how long, and what you do next.
Your art, if it has at any point been rendered/recorded electronically will potentially be part of this record.
Taken together this might justify a more intrusive level of scrutiny- sending someone to have a good look in your highly personal physical space.
Whilst it's natural to make a clear distinction between "me on the internet" and "me myself, the physical reality" the boundary between the two is increasingly blurred.
A very blunt example of this was the chap who tweeted about blowing up a midlands airport, and was promptly nicked on the basis of being a terrorist- online actions can have a direct result in offline reality.
To certain governments what you have said on this forum, if linked to your passport number would be ample evidence for them to refuse you entry and/or passage, or conceivably detain you for transgressing their standards.
