Spontaneous Restitution:
Given the fortunes generated by flipping artists' work between museums and
collectors, it would be a simple and just matter to begin by establishing
small royalty/trust funds at least for the artist's family and heirs. If
not, the institutions of abuse and perfidy will surely be toppled.
Fatal Fable:
Artists are too stupid (or treacherous) to survive; they rush headlong
into the gaping maws of the museum, ever-anxious to be decapitated --
"honorable" period-history trophies. But this time, some recognize their
hoodwinked and exploited cousins -- bulging through their distorted,
hyperbolic canvases in Virtual-Rapt, haunted-house horror -- the ensuing
rampage sees both the "Artist" and the Museum destroyed.
Fossils and Clones:
Works of art go straight into the museum even before they have a chance to
exist as artistic creations. Instead of being created and then, perhaps,
disappearing, they always already are virtual fossils. All the things that
we thought were dead, over and done with, buried under the immoveable
weight of universal progress are making a comeback -- you're stuck between
your clones and your fossils.
