Selfie. These words are so old, some of them have already fallen out of favor. "They’re not influencers anymore," an art director cautions me, "they’re content creators." Instagram is not solely responsible for their mass adoption into the English lexicon.

To some extent the avant-garde has always been self-selected. No one stumbles into a revolutionary art movement. No one anoints you to anticipate the future. And yet, the historical avant-gardes—the cubists, the futurists, the dadaists, the constructivists, the surrealists—were to some extent anointed.
