“UX is sort of like an artist’s collective, but far from being avant-garde–confronting audiences by pushing the boundaries of the new–its only audience is itself. More surprising still, its work is often radically conservative, intemperate in its devotion to the old. Through meticulous infiltration, UX members have carried out shocking acts of cultural preservation and repair, with an ethos of ‘restoring those invisible parts of our patrimony that the government has abandoned or doesn’t have the means to maintain’.”
