Can anyone step into the same stream twice 😄

Hurrah! The obscenery f**king useless…

"Simple class-or-identity politics." "Simple class or identity politics." Hard to parse.

Seeing this video, and then going to the art museum in cologne where they have those brillo boxes was a little surreal. Simulacraing my own perception of simulacra

This is why I became accelerationist.

I love your presentation!

I agree with Žižek in that we may even already be heading towards a society of uncontrol- essentially letting everyone fulfill their hedonistic desires within the frame of capital so that the corpo-state can delegate time spent in control to the individual themselves. Societies of control still exist in certain institutions but globally its essentially anarchocapital. Foucaults heterotopias are here and everyone hates them, Deleuzes rhizome is the standard model for individual now, only now its even more schizophrenic, anxious, and selfloathing.

Object should be compared with others like ‘thing’ and perhaps ‘content’. The opium poppy is not a typical object, right? It is a kind or perhaps a category, I would say.

How many KZfaq subs does it take to crack the self?

Based and plastic pilled

Has the second point of course people are going to cram meaning into his art because what modern art has become is a bunch of rich people with entirely too much money and disgusting amounts of influence telling each other hey this seems like some Trend that we should jump on yes yes I think so too and they declare it the next big thing in art but the truth is these people who live with their heads up their asses and that's why we have paintings in which the artist paints something then paints White over it and the only way to see the artwork originally is to x-ray the damn thing good Lord and they throw it all under postmodernism or post postmodernism or post post postmodernism wherever we're at

I don't disagree with you about the death of Modern Art but for me and I guess I would have to actually check the years and shut up before I wrote the song it's Jackson Pollock before Warhol😅 or both of them together and they helped dispose of the body. Basically when you don't actually produce any art that anybody would normally want to keep when your so-called art looks like you knocked over a scaffolding or are you simply took a picture that somebody else took and ran it through a screen printer but you're stupid personality and you're goofiness the fact that you're pulling off a scam actually gets you to become an artist in our time it's proof that Modern Art Is Dead. The only thing Warhol did of any significance as far as I'm concerned is he managed to recognize other people with actual ability and we all know who I'm about to talk about and gave them a chance to record their first album. The Velvet Underground Nico that is warhol's Legacy because he actually had decent taste in music

marx was left

This is such a sad view of art. If you don’t get it just say so- there’s no need to be trite

allendes mistake was not being revolutionary. He already had popular support. If he had rallyed the working class towards militant revolution, it would have fought against the USA and the military.

Fantastic presentation. Thank you!

Amazing breakdown!

I am a Chinese...u know your shxt❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bro what?

Can't believe I had to get some 20 something with ear gauges to explain baudrillard to me. Why is baudrillard's writing style so opaque. I don't think Baudrillard would agree with the title that post-modernism is "good, actually". I get that's tongue in cheek but even still, the accelerationist take that the obscene exposes theory and romanticism for what it is feels like it's sort of misconstruing Baudrillard's whole ethos. In Fatal Strategies he does talk a lot about how everything being rationalized and simulated will be the end of the world, literally. Everything he says about psychoanalysis, theory, chance, what have you, is talked about in a pretty negative light. I think he's just putting forth a model of the world that is post-human, and just stating it for what it is, not saying that it's "good" or that we should continue the trajectory. I don't know what the alternative is though or if there even is one, and at that point it does feel like Baudrillard is more defeatist than accelerationist, but I'm not entirely sure.

Wow you are CLUELESS! his art is ACTUALLY GREAT BEAUTIFUL ART! Where as so much "art" today that sells for so many tens of millions or 100s of millions etc is UGLY, STUPID, & OVERRATED! seriously something like looks like toddlers drew up in 5 seconds. Not going by what the actual worth is but by pure looks and art, I would take an Andy Warhol or Salvador Dali, or David Hockney works of art in a New York minute before I would many worlds of Picasso or UGLY "art" that literally looks like a 5 year old just scribbled on paper for 10 seconds but sells for $75 million like Cy Twombly and other minimalist "artists"

8:42 “Growing up I wasn’t allowed to eat white bread.” This is a telling class signal. No shade, I wasn’t either. The modern spectacle of health is marvelous.

‘Any fool can paint, but drawing is the thing and drawing is the test. If you are a good draughtsman you are ipso facto a good painter’ - Walter Sickert . Warhol’s Love, Sex and Desire drawings were as good a line work as Matisse. He was a cultural commentator in the same way Foucault was, he wasn’t an intellectual like him, but he was able to see the meshes holding up the surfaces and make work that spoke of its time whilst also prophesying a future. I’m a Fine Art PhD with a really big room full of art books, monographs and critical writing on art. I mention this because you qualify yourself in this way too. Warhol is an extraordinarily important part of the modern canon, as is Koons, Prince, McCarthy etc, all largely disliked outside of the art space. I think you are wrong in your conclusions here but thank you for the video.

I disagree that all affirmation is good and negation bad. I think they exist together as a balancing system.

the mother tongue, the language of love

the fact a person was compelled decades later to talk about it is the strength of it

Andy Warhol was a genius because he fooled a nation of rich people into paying for a painting of a can of soup he probably painted in his underwear while eating cereal and watching cartoons, And subsequently puffing up a weirdo.

This is a fire intorduction

You should make a companion piece to this video about how the CIA promoted modern art in an attempt to fight against soviet realism by promoting the idea that Americans were free to make and interpret art however they wished.

With little knowledge of accellerationism, I keep finding the key arguments for it as explained in videos like this as very similar nihilistic thought. Cybernetics seems to completely disregard the free will, as in the case of accelerationistic thought.

Hey Plastic Pills! First off, let me start by saying that that I love and appreciate your work here on KZfaq. As far as this video goes: #1: I think you are confusing a few things all as one phenomenon. “Art”, the art world / the art market, expression, labor and value. The art world and market are (I fully agree with your opinion on this) is not about “art”. However… the quality of someone’s expression is not validated legitimately through the means of the art market. I think we’re both on the same page? There’s TONS of awful work that is grossly over valued and a pawn in some financial scheme. If we strip that layer away from looking at art, and don’t consider its market value or status, we could evaluate it for its quality of expression…? #2: quality of expression: you seem to correlate skill in representation with value and authenticity. I just think this is a little too generalized. I would venture to say that sometimes a work of art is moving and we don’t need to understand why, or how many hours it took, or how expensive the production was. Personally, I feel that to me, arts value is more related to the artist’s ability to create new and novel language that allows us to access an interiority that maybe we don’t immediately have a means of getting to…. All that to say, that I find that the quality of expression is more related to one’s understanding of language, experience and affect, more so than “this was hard to make”. I agree with many of your sentiments, but I think they are not about art itself… it’s about the commodification of art, and the financial world around it. thank you for your work and good luck. I appreciate you, and send you all my best. :)

.. that's not bread you are eating. You waste a lot of time in chit chat and repeating yourself i couldnt watch the whole thing. Also, 1 name for you, Ed Bernays. Make a video on him. Thank me later.

masterly done

Marx was the consummate freeloader and marxism is the freeloaders dream come true.

This is a brilliant synthesis. Thank you!

It might be that aesthetic is everything and that it is etichal in this regard, but you cannot forcibly oversimplify everything, especialy when you mistake the cave for the real world. The thrudging, painful task of self enlightment, and then going back in the cave to bestow upon the individuals the true meaning of the social, this is the true definition of spectacular individuals, not the ones that we need "to look up to in order to relish in their misfortune and failures". Oposite of this, comes your ennui, and love of television. If you feel a bit down just have a fizzy dring with ice, don't say we should take it from the man! Also, Trump is not fuxkin Neo!

Here in 2024 a fire explanation

You're probably one of the few youtubers that understands their stuff and doesn't make theoretical mistakes. I've watched Zizek on other channels, and they always make weird little errors that make you think they have no idea what they're talking about

Although Nixon certainly destabilized Allende's economy Allende himself had already severely mismanaged the economy. The increases in wages without an increase in production cause shortages of nearly everything. He also planned on nationalizing the remaining half if the us owned copper mines without compensation. This spooked Washington who at the time was using up massive amounts of copper due to the war in Vietnam. He also allowed Fidel Castro to tour his country a few times,, which had the effect of scaring Washington into thinking Chile could become the next "Cuba". Nixon is NOT the kind of president you wanna give the impression you'll one day might host soviet bases. If ya know what I mean.

Two words that are more if you dare to look deeper: self-important, neo-liberalism.

Rest in power, comrade

💯👍🎯 💚🐾✊🏼🌏✌️💚

This IS a difficult topic to impart, and you did a great job!

Zizek versus Deleuze please

We will never forget you, Comrade Allende. Your ideas will shape the future of socialism. Your sacrifice will not be in vain.
