'perceive culture? As a form of merchandise, distributed by institutions and businesses. 143
1919
Time is now more valuable than space which translates into material? Materiality and the object are no longer of importance outside of their utility as transaction for the experience to occur?
'this user-centered perspective, the value of an object depends on its (always provisional) destination, but this value is never absolute: an aesthetic appraisal of an object must consider the context.' 144.
-Cultural production thus constitutes a continuous downpour of objects
-this rain of cultural objects hollows out crevices and modifies the contours and natural lines of human society.'
Through this 'plagiarism' and mass replication we distance ourselves from the hierarchy and fetishization of art? Does the fetish leave us or is it just displaced into a craving for time rather than object?
| - Duchamp didn't use the word 'appropriation' 146. appropriation= competition readymade - new meaning to object; removing from place of origin; displacement 147. |
-'Displacement is a way of using the world, a way of surreptitiously eroding established geographies.'
148.
