In her book "Verflüssigungen" (Liquifactions), Adrienne Goehler formulates ideas for the remodelling of the social state as a culture society. For her, the artist acts as a tried and tested crisis manager in a socially and economically insecure reality, reacts with imagination, flexibility and creativity to the challenges of harsh every day life and “is inherently a specialist for transitions, intermediate certainties, laboratories – and as such a natural enemy of sticking with what exists." She thus urges, for example, the implementation of an unconditional basic income in order to liberate creativity through removing the fear for one’s existence and opening up politics and administration for the potentials of artistic ideas. Already today, according to Goehler, more people work in cultural jobs than in the automobile industry – which is a sign that the "creative class" has to take on a more important role. Art and science have to develop the public dynamic that has become lost in politics. Where should the new ideas urgently required come from "if not from those who, as artists, writers and creators, struggle for sense and the senses?"
