“Image Removal: A Market has been Created”
“Pop Art is a spitting image of social media. Like pop art, social media has saturated the world with a low cost mass produced culture of gimmicks that takes on the form of identities with influence.”
An excerpt from Image Removal: A Market has been Created published in On the Rag Issue 02. The essay was originally distributed in an educational pamphlet that accompanied an Uncensored New York exhibition titled “Death of the Subject” at Public Works Administration. The revised version responds to the themes explored in “The Boys Club” exhibitioned at Susan Ingett Gallery curated by Cortney Connolly.
Topics discussed: legacy, flip phones, choke points, human rights, permanent records and two avenues you can take to remove your image from the internet.
