Reading rooms are the new white cubes; flow charts are the new abstract paintings; weaving is the new archiving; gardens are the new video installations; cooking is the new performance. Dirt is the new clay. Weeds are the new flowers. Composting is the new curating; harvesting is the new criticism. The metaverse is the new multiverse, and vice-versa.
