“The artist performs only one part of the creative process.

The onlooker completes it, and it is the onlooker who has the last word.”

— Marcel Duchamp

“Think of it. We are blessed with technology that would be indescribable to our forefathers. We have the wherewithal, the know-it-all to feed everybody, clothe everybody, and give every human on Earth a chance. We know now what we could never have known before -- that we now have the option for all humanity to make it successfully on this planet in this lifetime. Whether it is to be Utopia or Oblivion will be a touch-and-go relay race right up to the final moment…Humanity is in a final exam as to whether or not it qualifies for continuance in the Universe.”

— R. Buckminster Fuller, Utopia or Oblivion
