Amusingly elaborate theory but you're entitled to it I guess. Until science sheds some more light on what imagination actually is.
Maybe "they" distribute instructions to commissioned artists by an elaborate network of vacuum tubes under the earth.
Just a couple of things.
@bio3nergetic said in The show UTOPIA (from the UK) is unfathomly based:
Another aspect of ritualism is this idea that those partaking in rituals or "magic" to garner control or power
Artists were once casually regarded as magicians. To this day it's probably a good idea to be nice to them.
Also a reminder, they do this amongst themselves as well, knowing damn well what they are doing. For example, just months before the great con of convid the fake pandemic, they held Event 201 in Manhattan. An "exercise" involving officials assessing what it would be like if a pandemic were to shut the world down. Just months before, in 2019.
Also this is somewhat distinct from your wild theory about art.
