The perception of our eyes through our minds
Us human beings on this planet are the most advanced species in terms of our minds.
The complexity of our minds makes us susceptible to mimicking and become influenced by our
closest peers, communities and societies and through mimicry we are able to adapt and create
a bond that dictates how we act, feel and want. This conceives an illustration of who we are and
in a way, I believe this construction of yourself is truly not the authentic essence of yourself but
merely a reflection that is expected by society. And as artists, our society considers us an
anomaly due to the mundane mindset of and the expectations from the cultural norms for the
9-5 mundane office jobs. Similar to the position for any type of art where if we take both a
famed artist and an unknown artist that creates an art piece that is carbon copies of each other
the famed artist will receive far substantial applauses due to their high status and the mindset
we shroud them with. Subsequent to their spotlight even when the famed artist creates
something so mundane they are far less criticized which I call “Clapping for the wrong reasons”.
But this proceeds far beyond art from gender roles, life and death, the sense of security from
militaries and weapons which generates further risk for target along with its mistakes and
misuse and we even witness this in social situations where people that are out of the ordinary
are often neglected and mistreated due to to their differences. Amidst this, I believe Duchamp
and other artists are making a critical point to our normalized actions for the solutions as well
as the flaws and persuasions from the norms for each and every one of us as we still invest
in them through its seductions.

From the beginning of Baudrillard’s excerpt, he writes “Everything that can be revealed lies
outside the secret.” The quotes also set to be true of Duchamp’s work for the readymade.
Duchamp when creating an art piece, the visual representation, its creative act always derived
from his formulated ideas first. In this manner, he disregarded the attractive nature of the outer
layer and placed it in a museum that held everyday ordinary objects above its recognition and
as art within our minds and through the simplicity of the objects the outer layer provided us
the secrets for the abstract ideas. Although simple this created an enigma, approaching
towards dualism. Duchamp’s readymade work was just ordinary, recognizable materials but
due to its display in an artistic demeanor. It created a dichotomy between its settings which
oftentimes seduced the audiences into overlooking the ideas of the simple concept of the
production. This seduction as we dig deeper into the core is extracted from challenge and
shifts into an attempt to symbolize and link its settings and pieces from our egos and mind
even when the secret is exhibited through the conscious mind in a humorous approach.
He has also enhanced the shattering ideas for the essence of art by pushing the boundaries
and the unwritten rules of art from one of his pieces, “The Bride Stripped Bare of Her
Bachelors, Even” by embracing and designating the imperfections from the shattered glass
as art.

Similar to Duchamp, Virgil and Aki also emphasize the formulated process and its attachment
to the product as well as pushing the boundaries of preconceived notions of art. Virgil also
understands the key aspect of advertising and like the seduction explained by Baudrillard he
understands the details of how it stimulates and dictates the cultural norms in a society. In
addition to the seduction, Aki perceives the inherited norms by society and talks about her
pregnancy as well as the lack of desire to raise a child but gives into the normalization of the
society. Another similar attribute although their art distinctly differs from each other’s work is
the ironic value they all utilize. Such as the printed “Wet Grass” rug and Aki’s demonstration
of detaching from the cultural norms by portraying art in a bar and conversing with the
bartender. All in all these artists are creating new movements and shifting the perspectives
of our perceived notions by pushing the confined borders of what we see as art.
