    I think you have a point but I can also see how

    1. Art inspires science and engineering
    2. Solarpunk art already includes extremely dense information about how to accomplish the goals and of course the aesthetic

    And while the art is the most iconic part of solarpunk, there is more to it as well.

      Agreed. Art is the single most powerful tool used to start cultural revolutions.

      The Renaissance only happened because of artists’ ideas were spread in a meaningful way.

      The music and psychedelic art of the 50s-60s inspired the hippie movement.

      Currently, we are being inspired by cyberpunk art. I guess that’s the natural progression of capitalism. But it will eventually fail. And when it does, SolarPunk will rise.
