• The Zodiak is history. I don't think it would be possible today to built up such an artslab, at least not in the way it worked out at the time, which was somehow accidentally, as part of the change of the paradigmata at the time. Nowadays as always people / artists have to learn to be free, to free themselves from being / feeling addicted to what's mainstream, what sells, what's successsful in terms of what the market expects. Contemporary music / art needs charismatic personalities who don't care at all about what the massmarket agrees to. There were and are not many of those personalities over the milleniums, as you perhaps realise.
