It seems to me that the age of information, which leads to a "threading" of culture, also inevitably scatters that culture to too many pieces for the common individual to follow.
Of course, every area and topic and sub-topic and so on also gets expanded and raised to new heights by the artists who take interest in them. That's the nature of the digital plane, it's like open source culture, for culture.
Don't you think a culture can be too decentralised? I can't see how we, as a collective, will be able to appreciate art together like that - like we maybe used to do, though I'm too young to be sure.
It also seems like currently it's relatively easy to satisfy your hunger for art if you have interest in the first place. But outside of monoculture, maybe those who have no taste for art, have a harder time to acquire it.
I broadly agree, just a correction: the fountain of trevi was built way after the fall of the Roman empire. It's more Enlightment era - although probably not very enlighted in Rome where the pope ruled.
Just want to note that the loop skycraper doesn't currently exist:
"While only a proposed skyscraper at this point, the "Big Bend" is a very bold design indeed. Designed by Oiio Studio, if and when built, it would become the longest building in the world at around 1,200 meters from base to base.
On paper, the skyscraper comes in at 610 meters tall and would surpass the One World Trade Center in height if ever realized."
A very interesting topic!
