If everyone laughing in a\u00a0room is\u00a0being paid to laugh, is the one who payed for the laught truly laughing? Is he faking the laughs?\u00a0#\u0950<\/p>\n
Learning the KP3 ropes. As expected I’m pushing heavy with the effects.<\/a> It’s such a thrill to use.<\/p>\n Visited the Ihme-days<\/a> again. The Ihme-festival crew celebrated\u00a0Kate\u0159ina \u0160ed\u00e1<\/a>s “Tram-Buskers Tour” with a two hour long talk. She was interviewed by\u00a0Hamza Walker who\u00a0made\u00a0a solid\u00a0presentation. Unfortunately he was a big fan of \u0160ed\u00e1s work and\u00a0his analysis wasn’t critical.<\/p>\n After hearing\u00a0\u0160ed\u00e1 I had a revelation: The “Tram-Buskers Tour” is a passive aggressive artwork. It was portrayed as a positive and low-key\u00a0experience but behind the smiles audiences and buskers were used as mere resource for a top-down artwork. She takes people through the ropes whether they want\u00a0it or not. This sort of hostility to normativity\u00a0is welcome but feels insulting\u00a0when\u00a0it’s\u00a0served with a fake smile.\u00a0I like my violence raw.<\/p>\n \u0160ed\u00e1 has compiled\u00a0her post-soviet dissillusion and angst into an authoritarian artist practice, aiming\u00a0crackdown hypocritical social structures. This approach works when her projects target\u00a0western-capital-metropolitan\u00a0areas, or when she works “to give a voice” to small villages she has worked in. But\u00a0in\u00a0the Helsinki\u00a0context her work is\u00a0colonial.<\/p>\n Instead of altering\u00a0what we believe to be possible, she made us\u00a0doubt our believes. She comes off as a bully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If everyone laughing in a\u00a0room is\u00a0being paid to laugh, is the one who payed for the laught truly laughing?
