text: If an artist, in creating works, implies infinite non-works (i.e. work produced cannot replace other possible works and in fact prevents them), but is an obstacle to their development thanks to the limitations of his personality, then the single artist must be removed and all possible artists must have access to the project, as must, therefore, all possible arts.
