so this means no more speculations until everything has happened and it is too
late to discuss the topic, raise questions and develop some consciousness for a
scientific field that is totally shaped by an industry like in the case of the
icelandic gen databank.
to create art you have to have some utopian view into the future because art
always refers to something or develop different concepts of world
regards.
so this is the point of view of very conervative art historian telling you have
to wait 50 years to tell something about an piece of art, only then you have
the necessary reflective attittude.
