    I'm a big fan of this genre of "a person got rich in tech and spent their wealth making an unrelated thing they wanted to exist in the world, untethered from the need to be profitable or self-sustaining."

        Posting this here as a reminder that you can build a successful software company and use that to fund a cutting-edge experimental art and performance space under the cover of "it's a research lab".

        The Voxel doesn't even take a cut of ticket sales - it's completely free for the accepted artists to use: https://voxel.org/artist-residencies/
