 | Common T-Shirt (2007) Video Art for YIVF#3 Consumer Society Also known as Mindless. This was projected at the Yogyakarta International Videowork Festival #3 in 2007. It was commisioned for a side exhibition Guilty Pleasures (2007), which sought to explore our mindless fashion consumption without further thought about it's ethical manufacture. When we look at something with closer inspection, we will uncover something more unnerving than our superficial desires that we are all guilty of. Images of a shopping centre escalator are projected onto the symbol of fashion- the white t-shirt like an empty canvas. The video records the unusual spectrums of projected light and corresponds with the manipulated ambient sound. Exhibited at Yogyakarta International Video Work Festival #3; Projected at: Jogjatronik, Saphir Square, Malioboro Market, Lembaga Indonesia Perancis, Yogyakarta Mosque, Embassy Night Club, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In collaboration with Julian 'Togar' Abraham, December 2007. Hosted by HONF www.natural-fiber.com 2007 |

 | Where's compassion in a consumer society? What is a consumer society? One where we can only be called upon to mobilize as consumers, where democracy is secondary to our purchasing power. Like post Katrina when the president asked us to go out and spend, like we do in the run up to the celebration of the Prince of Peace's B-day. Remember, Walmart supplied potable water to survivors well before FEMA. LIVE FROM NEW DELHI, INDIA. http://diepiriye.blogspot.com/ |
 | The Rebel Sell In September 2003, Adbusters magazine started selling its own signature brand of "subversive" running shoes. With the flagship of the culture-jamming movement marketing its own label, a seismic shift had taken place in the popular anti-consumer movement. As cultural critics Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter point out, no one could possibly believe there was still any difference between "mainstream" and "alternative" culture. The only possible conclusion: the counterculture is not a threat to the "system," it is the system. Guaranteed to incense both the followers of Naomi Klein's No Logo, as well as their right-wing counterparts, The Rebel Sell argues that decades of countercultural rebellion have not only been unhelpful, but counterproductive. Heath and Potter offer a startling blend of pop culture and political manifesto as they consider the birth of the rebel consumer, the enforcement of norms within the counterculture, the need to untangle questions of social justice from the countercultural critique, and what it will really take to turn consumers into citizens. Joe Heath is an associate professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto. He is the author of two previous books: Communicative Action and Rational Choice, which won the Canadian Philosophical Association Book Prize for 2003, and The Efficient Society, a Maclean's and Globe and Mail bestseller selected by the Globe as one of the best books of 2001. He writes a monthly column for the journal Policy Options and is a frequent contributor to The Montreal Gazette. Andrew Potter is a research fellow at the Centre de Recherche en Éthique de l'Université de Montréal (CREUM), where he studies philosophical issues regarding the Internet, technology, and consumer society. His work has appeared in the National Post, the Ottawa Citizen and The Wilson Quarterly, and he is on the editorial board of the alternative journal of politics and culture, This Magazine. Andrew Potter lives in Montreal. |
 | Advertising & the End of the World http://www.mediaed.org Advertising & the End of the World features an illustrated presentation by Sut Jhally of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the producer and writer of the award-winning Dreamworlds II. Focusing directly on the world of commercial images, he asks some basic questions about the cultural messages emanating from this market-based view of the world: Do our present arrangements deliver what they claim-- happiness and satisfaction? Can we think about our collective as well as our private interests? And, can we think long-term as well as short-term? Drawing from the broad arena of commercial imagery, and utilizing sophisticated graphics, Advertising & the End of the World addresses the issues these questions raise, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own participation in the culture of consumption. Making the connection between society's high-consumption lifestyle and the coming environmental crisis, Jhally forces us to evaluate the physical and material costs of the consumer society and how long we can maintain our present level of production. |
