i believe this functions as funny and prophetically as well. it's a great premise for a story. invisible art is the only way we will ever loose creativity from the bounds of the material world. Why can't the non-existent be art? it is pure art and will soon be on display in the MoMA. unless it already is on display between the "materialist" art. brilliant!
I was reading this new sci fi novel about a future where everybody relies on micro implants to show and overlay information on the everyday world, enhancing interaction with a never ending feed or real-time data & data images. This creates an invisible pseudo word with its own economy, rules, and society -- where "real" is preferably immaterially based, and the "unplugged" world of objects is laughable. The name of the novel, unfortunately, escapes me -- it was displaced in the move to Chicago. But we are headed this direction.
I think you're right. That sounds exactly like where we're headed. A writer named Mark Budz has written three novels dealing with something like this. His third, called Idolon, is about how people in the future wear microfiber and program it so they look like celebrities and such. But this invisible art concept is right on. Kant said that existence is not a predicate; existing doesn't make something 'better' than something that doesn't exist. But we're just talking invisible, right? My brain is all twisted now. Can't see through the smoke.
