Twisting the politics of representation around the representation of politics, these essays uncover a rich trove of information in the formal shifts and aberrant distortions of accelerated capitalism, of the art system as a vast mine of labor extraction and passionate commitment, of occupation and internship, of structural and literal violence, enchantment and fun, of hysterical, uncontrollable flight through the wreckage of postcolonial and modernist discourses and their unanticipated openings. politics Individual 057 https://www.e-flux.com/books/66675/the-wretched-of-the-screen/ https://attachments.are.na/3378572/a67937af6b82e58a3ab101d4c4bb9fef.pdf?1547105699 Hito Steyerl Images are no longer passive reflections; they are active agents, manipulated and distorted by the flows of capital and power, reshaping reality in their own fractured, pixelated image.
