This Element asks if the arts can help us imagine a better future
society and economy, without deep social gulfs or ecological harm.
It argues that at their best, the arts open up new ways of seeing
and thinking. They can warn and prompt and connect us to a bigger
sense of what we could be. But artists have lost their role as gods
and prophets, partly as an effect of digital technologies and the
ubiquity of artistic production, and partly as an effect of
shifting values. Few recent books, films, artworks or exhibitions
have helped us imagine how our world could solve its problems or
how it might be better a generation or more from now. This Element
argues that artists work best not as prophets of a new society but
rather as 'prophets at a tangent'.
