you could witness it in music with sound system collectives
putting up a rig, after all the component parts set up who would/could play what and when and, lastly, who could arsed dismantling it all AND tidy up leaving a location as found
names emerge but through the course of an entire weekend a collective can rewrite any sense of authorship - back to back, one tune each, as couples in blocks - it’s metaphorically limitless

I've ragged on Lerner before and the story/essay itself isn't that great, but it's thrown up a couple of interesting things.
Firstly, the use of ChatGPT for the coda. Secondly, that there's now mention on Wikipedia of his actual edits campaign fictionalised in the piece.

I just knew of Oxman from that Netflix design series Abstract, which paints her as this visionary multidispilinary designer who can 3d-print fungi to make a tipi and such things.
