What is THE FLATTENING?

Due to a convergence of multiple independent social factors, it is prophesied that the year 2050 A.D. will be the final year of art, followed by The Flattening. During this ten-thousand year period, humans will be incapable of expressing themselves artistically.

Do not worry! There is nothing you can do to make yourself creative during The Flattening. However, you will not have to face this cold future without art. The innovative artists of Varnishing Point are working around the clock to produce ten thousand years of art history, set to take place beginning in 2051 and lasting the full duration of The Flattening. Yes, that means they have to create enough artworks to last the human race 10,000 years! Yes, that's 100 years of art, every year! But they can do it. They Have To Do It.
