This has by far had to be my favorite section yet.
Culture Jamming, I love looking at pictures from the 1920's - 1980's, These ones are especially interesting because the are the control behind my degree. I mean that in a sense to what Peter had discussed with us in class that we are why we are today because of who they were then.
Make sense? Maybe
In 1986, human interaction was a big deal, bigger than it is today....
On page 126, it shows White's "Telephonic Arm Wrestling"And this directly brought my attention because it's like arm wrestling with someone halfway around the world. Which, we can do today in a sense, but over the internet.
The perception of this piece those, with relativistic constraints is even more genius.
Hehe The Yes Man.... :) (Pg 133)
Now, when the US Department of Art & Technology announced about "Promoting media art, cultural growth, the artist voice in reshaping public policy and improved aesthetic standards for all Americans..." in 2001, they really did not know what was about to hit society media and art wise.
