cookies and capitalism


"Capitalism, in essence is objectification-- assigning monetary or numerical value to everything, rather that respecting its actual worth from a human perspective. With objectification from capitalism, trees are not trees, but rather 'natural resources' -- resources to be used, cut down, destroyed; the land rape, fragile ecosystem raped and natural beauty raped. This objectification pervades every aspect of our existence. The filter of objectification can lead humanity into doing some pretty horrific things, such as tattooing numbers on people's arm because they are not humans, but only a number. A culture that puts objectification on a pedestal will end up burning people." (cooper kaminer)

more to come after art history. i love learning!

LARGE COLLABORATIVE ART PROJECT


the brainchild of erin "i have nothing going on in my life and am constantly bored" freeman and myself. we don't know exactly what we're going to do and we don't know exactly what is going to happen, but it will be brilliant. and aesthetically pleasing, obviously.
