art in liquidation

Upon an activation of this resolution a value ART will be redrawn from circulation. A liquidator, The Value Quest Bourse, will carry out liquidation by symbolic cancelation of The Golden Cards, coded with value  ART: 0000 0003 1109 1102, found in the possession of the ARTIST. Remaining samples of The Golden Cards, coded with values other then ART, will be used as the main prize at The Value Quest Roulette.

“From the perspective of the evolutionary model, one would argue that THE ENVIRONMENT MUST HAVE CHANGED TO GIVE SELECTIVE ADVANTAGE TO PARTICULAR FORMS AT A GIVEN TIME… The purest form of environmental selection is the selective survival or elimination of complete organizations, depending on their fit to the environment. For instance, if the selection were base on administrative rationality, nonbureaucratic organizations might fail to survive, leaving only bureaucracies.” (Aldrich and Pfeffer, “Environments of Organisations”, 1976)

Urtica’s statement:

During the Value Quest, an ARTIST comes to a

RESOLUTION

to undergo a process of liquidation

Upon value-based enterprise the ART, THE LIQUIDATION COMES INTO PLAY.

The debtors of the ART are called to settle their obligations.
The creditors of the ART are called to file their requests.

A certificate related to debt pay-off and filed claims should be uploaded at: https://valuequest.info/liquidation

The ARTIST is dispensed with the duty of liable agent of the ART. The Value Quest Bourse is appointed as a liquidator.

Rationale

The ARTIST undergoes the process of liquidation upon the ART due to the suspension of natural requirements to conduct this value-based enterprise.
