I just finished reading it. I only had time for the first half on a break at work the other day. I thought his idea of moving away from commenting on popular culture in art is wrong though. Who, if not artist's, is going to help people see what popular cultural advertising is doing to them?
April was talking on the phone about an interesting article she read where they analized how the ipod marketing works. That you see the simple clear illustrations of those silloettes and the only thing that stands out is the white ear plug cords. Then when you look down and see them on yourself wearing an ipod you feel like you are in the poster. I'd like to see someone do a piece about that. Getting people to analyze what is happening to them.
