Excessive use of resources in magnified state, by
which one expresses: by means of two, or three
dimensional visual-creations, written, or pronounce
words, or in any other manner. Society in a state of
ever-increasing excess and waste of resources is
reflected in the arts, particularly of visual
artists.
As a reflection, examination, or investigation of
every aspect of life in excessive state with
particular consideration to the areas that have real
and consequential effect on the members of the
society. Subject areas are, but not limited to
economics, politics and psychology. With regard to
every aspect of society and in every industry and
sector, the planned obsolescence of resources for
private profit disproportionately impacts humanity
at large.
In politics the leaders
become misleaders only to serve the interests of
their contributors, whose interests are more often than
not, opposed to the interests of their electors.
The goal of the
capitalist system is to deliver profit for private
investors, or corporations, seemingly, without
consideration to human and environmental consequence and
yet, also whose aims effect incomparable contribution to
economic growth, employment and prosperity.
Existing mechanisms in
the financial structure imposes constant expansion of
limits to realize continual growth of profit. In the
consumerist based relations, this factor is inserted
into the fabric of daily existence of society. According
to determinism, freedom of choice is illusory and
society is positioned to function as a reliable producer
of excess, which serves as the lubricant of the
capitalist engine.
