How do fabric installations engage with post-scarcity economics?
Fabric installations offer a unique lens through which to examine post-scarcity economics, a paradigm where resources are abundant and creativity replaces traditional scarcity-driven models. By repurposing textiles—often discarded or surplus materials—artists challenge conventional notions of value and utility. These installations highlight sustainability, demonstrating how art can thrive in an economy focused on reuse rather than depletion. The tactile, adaptable nature of fabric mirrors the flexibility required in post-scarcity systems, where innovation and collaboration take precedence over competition. Ultimately, such works invite viewers to reimagine a world where abundance fuels artistic and economic possibilities.
