thinking about how you'd go about establishing a new art scene — making it so that people rich in financial, social, and cultural capital have to have, for example, still images in the style of the '80s Transformers cartoon on their walls — has gotten me thinking about blackmail

you have to coopt or discredit the existing art scene obvs, so if there are people you can't buy you have to coerce them. was thinking the best blackmail would be multi-tiered; if they won't play ball, you release the first wave, then once their life is wrecked offer them a job

if they refuse or can't manage to become compliant even once they're dependent on you then you release subsequent waves, if possible arranging it so that they always have a feeling of bitter loss but still something left to lose. any thoughts on how one would refine this model?
