...seriousness. Population explosions will exert pressures on both socialist and capitalist nations alike, the inevitable competition for dwindling resources will cause wars of "preemptive seizure" that will eventually lead to an extreme dichotomy between rich and poor countries. Capitalism and socialism will both have to deal with a stagnant industrial production, and the latter will probably fare better, simply because capitalism will have to undergo a transition of income redistribution unacceptable to its long-standing commitment to the ethos of economic advancement.

We demand inventiveness, for in our age, art cannot remain stagnant and stay alive. And so, almost systematically in its defense of the artistic nature of photography, the exhibit turns to the question of ingenuity. And just as before, it answers this point beautifully...
