Tony Benn, Globalisation and the emergence of the one-party state
this is not an art paper it is a political paper
there are not any choices anymore
common currencey undermines the culture
Globalisation has also reduced the scope for change, and a whole new clutch
of world organisations has sprung up with the intention of administering
the world for the benefit of those who believe in free trade, market forces
and a profit-driven society. A system which has shown itself to enrich the
wealthy and drive down the living standards of those who work or are poor [1]
how is it possible
how do you become
you need to have an ego
i saw this as having no voice
create a critical forum ourselves
appropriate parts of policy
cynical appropriation of power
cuts out possiblities of thinking
taking the middle ground
the mechanics of being idealistic
future directions
how you want to play the game
dynamics of making art
streamlineing image
The political leaders of the new radical centre, who are now in power
everywhere as the champions of globalisation, may have persuaded themselves
that there is no longer any real difference of interest between capital and
labour, that nationalism is out of date and that fundamentalism has no
place in the world today, but the facts do not confirm this.[2]
demorcracy is a thin veil
it relates to the art world
direct action
put ideas out there
seemingly how can we navigate
software stratergies
new straucture of information flow
alternative stratagies
quote
there is going to be a shift
have a naive idea of how art funcitons
a statement
evil is already there australia is racist
its media theatre
on one hand you have globalisation
they are media manipulated
they are put there as efigies
the attitude with a lot of artist is they go ahead and make art
you can not be the protector of what you do
artist have no form of representation only an individual one
its strange talking about culture
make something a little different
trying to gain some ideaology about production
some people do
female said i am sick and tired of being poor
didn't have to worry about paying the rent
in the middle is a big hole
work viguourlsy enough
most work is object based
she has a vison about promoting the performing arts
we dont have ism's anymore
video art is not big in america
australians do things differently
doing what you can where you are
Here the internet has a crucial role to play. It allows the monopoly of
communications - now controlled by a handful of media moguls - to be
challenged and even replaced by a growing flow of information currently
excluded from the official channels on radio and television.[3]
local maifestation of desire
tall poppy syndrome
just as well as anywhere else
there is certain frustration with distance.
there is an isolation
massive disinformation service
