@inthehands I would say it really depends on the type of avant garde art. Sometimes the intent is around subverting the ways art is converted into money, which is kind of similar to poisoning AI. But I think the range of goals for adventurous art is so broad, it’s hard to compare to any activity with a narrow goal.

More importantly perhaps, the function of the art can change over time, so deeply subversive music gets absorbed and 20 years later it becomes grocery store music. Yet - if you listen closely, it’s still subversive!
