The Conspiracy of Art

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the interplay between art, politics, economics, and media, Baudrillard offers a provocative analysis of contemporary culture. He critiques the transformation of art into a self-referential entity, devoid of illusion, and celebrates its role in the commodification of society. Central to this discourse is "War Porn," which examines the disturbing imagery from Abu Ghraib as a reflection of broader societal violence and voyeurism. Edited by Sylvère Lotringer, this collection challenges the reader to reconsider the essence of radical thought in a world steeped in spectacle.
