Wouldn't it be great if all the artists in the world co-operated in making one big artwork that started on the ground and was built upwards as high as possible, towards the heavens, so as to praise the glory of God. Even if artists didn't believe in God, they could still contribute, if they wanted to. All the world's millionaires could give some money towards the cost of construction, and provide the artists with food while they were working – cooked by good hearted cooks and made with fresh, natural ingredients. People who weren't artists could help as well, by encouraging those who are with expressions of interest and support, and by carrying things. In the event that an artist made a mistake, a professional critic could gently draw attention to the error, in a kind way. And if the work began to look too phallic, women artists could point this out, and actively correct this. Architects and engineers would be highly involved in the project, so that it would look good and not fall down. In winter, when it would be freezing cold, especially at the top of the artwork, the miners could help by donating some coal for cheering fires, and clothes designers could give nice warm outfits for the artists to be pleased to wear. At night, the work would be all lit up by the screens of many video artists, some in colour, and some in black and white. Of course, safety would be very important, and as well as the light from videos there would be other extremely large lights on the artwork so that aircraft pilots would be able to see it, and not crash into it, and so not cause a disaster. On the opening day, musicians could create brilliant music, and poets would be there, and people would have their hearts filled with joy.
