What does acting to “flatten” the mathematically built curve mean?

Speculatively, it seems a bit like aspiring to the best possible version of the present. What role do artistic practices play in the development/understanding of the present? How can artistic practices help a better understanding of possible futures? How can art spaces be prepared to respond to this possible pendulum of cyclical outbreaks? What alliances can be woven in this context of precariousness, life, death, and discomfort?
