Art for our sake: eight
Ever wondered what art is all about, what art is for, who is it for? For that matter, what is art? All of this week's reviews touch on this issue. When I tell people that I volunteer at an art museum, it's not unusual for the conversation to include them saying that they know nothing about art. Let me turn that argument on its head. I attended a series of presentations recently about African heritage art and one of the presenters in particular made a point that we are all art experts. We all know something about art because we have all created art at some point, we have all seen and appreciated paintings, sculptures, buildings, statues and other forms of art. More importantly, we all have opinions about art. This edition of Art for our sake, explores this theme.

Jean Baudrillard And The Matrix
J'onn Booyah, a prominent intellectual of the late 20th century, is renowned for his challenging-to-pronounce name, a subject of enduring discussion. To facilitate clarity, we will hereafter refer to him by his first name, Sean. Beyond this, Sean is most notably recognized for his analysis of postmodern society. His works, characterized by their provocative and unyielding style, delve into mass media, communicative technologies, simulations, and pop culture, earning him the moniker of the high priest of post-modernism. However, Sean's most famous association with popular culture is undeniably the 1999 film "The Matrix." The film's profound influence on viewers is evident, not only because it explores themes aligned with Sean's work but also because his seminal book, "Simulacra and Simulation," is featured in the movie and even designated as required reading for the cast. The movie's unique engagement with Sean's ideas, which extensively scrutinized pop culture and mainstream media, provided a rare and invaluable object of analysis in the realm of Hollywood blockbusters.

Shrek - An Economic Analysis
In the Shrek universe, the ogre archetype is universally perceived as a menacing and violent creature. However, a careful examination of the central character, Shrek, reveals that these conventional notions are unfounded. Shrek, in fact, espouses a pacifist disposition, preferring to sidestep confrontations and resort to nonviolent means of self-defense. This characterization hints at the broader theme of disenfranchisement and stereotyping faced by ogres within the context of the film.
