Well this idea is already known to us. We are slaves to "the man". The corporate, state, media driven man that "manufactures our consent to be oppressed" to quote Youngblood. His solution is using the same tools to fight back. Language--blunt, "we all get it" language globally expressed . ( visual language is of course "our language" in common )
"Self expression becomes common sense" he says when you believe everything that is being "sold" to you in sound bites from whoever...even history class teaches us the approved versions or "speak with one voice" rather than the many views needed to think for oneself .
This Thursday, Scotland votes Yes to be their own country, to be free and break from the "United" Kingdom. The U.K.'s -"Better Together" campaign needs a No vote. I will through the internet- join the fight and vote Aye! That revolution started with music not guns. ( of course it will still end up being all about who controls the money ).
wow, now Youngblood and Manevich seem to both be talking about 'aesthetic strategy' :o !
