ESSENTIAL
The Infrastructural Gap names the problem precisely: art infrastructure, designed for another era, creates a structural contradiction where art addressing universal experience circulates through systems ensuring it reaches almost no one.
The Nonterritorial Framework defines what Nonterritorial is by defining what it isn't - not a gallery, platform, or marketplace - and then articulating its three integrated functions: Production (documentation), Distribution (host network), and Infrastructural Value. Those functions position Nonterritorial as a filler of the gap institutional research has identified: interoperable, decentralised cultural infrastructure that delivers public value. Emphasises the category-creation rather than category-competition logic.
Reason to Exist — The philosophical anchor: "Art should circulate like weather forecast" frames this not as idealism but infrastructural logic, and concludes that wider access and sustainable artist compensation are complementary functions, not competing values.
