When I go to an art museum, I want to see the craziest shit they can throw at me. I like looking at the old paintings and seeing the layers of paint and admiring the talent that went into it, but throw something titled Red #2 or Untitled and shit is about to get real. I want to have to figure out if there is actually art there or not. I want to look at the goddamn wall and think it's art and have the curator tell me that it's just a wall. I want the curator to tell me a dick joke and then tell me it's part of an art exhibit. I want to eat pasta and look at paintings of absolutely nothing.

    the democratization and proliferation of art

    Unironically DeviantArt and AO3 are the greatest realizations of this ideal in the current world. Also shit like Garry's Mod, in which people have been contributing and creating and sharing for eighteen years now, is an incredible realization of the concept.
