Better, obviously, is something like this: “A Short Manifesto” (1964) by the Dutch conceptual artist Stanley Brouwn. It ends with a vision of the future, in 4,000 AD:

             NO MUSIC

             NO THEATRE

             NO ART

             NO

             THERE WILL BE SOUND

                                            COLOR

                                            LIGHT           

                                            SPACE

                                            TIME

                                            MOVEMENT

A Short Manifesto

4000 A.D.
WHEN SCIENCE AND ART ARE ENTIRELY
MELTED TOGETHER TO SOMETHING NEW
WHEN PEOPLE WILL HAVE LOST THEIR
REMEMBRANCE AND THUS WILL HAVE
NO PAST, ONLY FUTURE.
WHEN THEY WILL HAVE TO DISCOVER EVERYTHING EVERY MOMENT AGAIN AND AGAIN
WHEN THEY WILL HAVE LOST THEIR NEED FOR CONTACT WITH OTHERS

. . .

THEN THEY WILL LIVE IN A WORLD OF ONLY
COLOUR, LIGHT, SPACE, TIME, SOUNDS AND MOVEMENT THEN COLOUR LIGHT SPACE TIME
SOUNDS AND MOVEMENT WILL BE FREE
NO MUSIC
NO THEATER
NO ART
NO
THERE WILL BE SOUND
COLOUR LIGHT SPACE
TIME MOVEMENT
