  Lock it in a massive ice block that takes 88 years to melt. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elephant.art&#x2F;laurie-anderson-duets-on-ice-performance-italy-1974-06102021&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elephant.art&#x2F;laurie-anderson-duets-on-ice-performanc...</a>

  Performative nonsense

    We typically use the word &quot;art&quot;, which, yes, is often performative and sometimes nonsense!<p>Not all art is to everyone&#x27;s taste, and that&#x27;s ok too. You don&#x27;t have to enjoy this art piece. I find the idea of creating something that I cannot possibly enjoy to be quite poignant. But hey, I&#x27;m sure you have art you enjoy that I do not.

  &gt; At the end of the project, the full anthology of texts will be printed using paper made from trees from the Future Library forest<p>remind me in 88 years.<p>Also, file in “things that will never happen.”

    Those trees will mature in 2050ish timeframe. If this person put together a trust to manage the particulars, they might be alive to ensure the trees get harvested and processed into paper.<p>Trees get turned into paper every day, I&#x27;m sure there&#x27;s a paper mill willing to take the work, especially in Northern Europe.
