As I waited in the Bruguera line, I took a picture of it and texted it to a friend, with a caption: “Why am I here?” But in a sense, that message was its own answer. Waiting in lines, jostling in the crowd — the audience that can’t afford the exclusivity and elitism in art appreciation can enjoy instead the contradiction at the heart of social media: networked individualism, being alone not in the crowd but through it. The museum should now be understood in these terms — not a place to look, or to feel, or to learn, but a place to wait until a sense of your own significance closes in on you.
