-
Jim Fleming and Konrad Becker |
|
Beyond the obsolete models of artist or author as genius and their fetish objects, what collective and collaborative practices are inventing new terrains and flows?

The Age of Persuasion: How Marketing Ate Our Culture
-
Mike Tennant and Terry O'Reilly |
|
Stop to consider the culture of the 21st century: Each morning, you might hear a half-dozen ads on the radio before your feet touch the floor.
