“Art has a dual social-spiritual function that is threatened by the economies and ideologies of the art world, the broader culture, and a faltering neoliberal patronage. Art faces a ‘crisis of substitutability; — its replacement by digital social media and artificial intelligence. […] I argue for a literal rapprochement with the Marxist subject (the working-class) and an irrealist artistic strategy seeking a cultural rapprochement with working-class subjectivity (individual and collective).”
