Q - How and Why could three people buy the banana? A - In this case, you aren’t actually buying the work itself—it’s a banana. It’s going to rot. What are you buying, then? The certificate of art. Essentially you bought the idea rather than the object. When the banana goes bad, the owner can replace it , according to the artist’s instructions. It will still be considered a Cattelan. Q - Who is Cattelan  A - Cattelan is an Italian artist and an absurdist—in 2016 he replaced a toilet at the Guggenheim with a fully functioning gold one. He called the artwork America . Gee, anyone can do this. But did you?

Aura is a quality integral to an artwork that cannot be communicated through mechanical reproduction techniques – such as photography. The term was used by Walter Benjamin in his influential 1936 essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.H.O.O.Q. put it simply, when you exposed to anything via secondary reading, class, lectures, rituals, gossips, rumors and notoriously the media - all these will construct a "mystical" aura or at least "an impression" towards the featured subject. Just like how Tun M reinventing himself as the saviour ( hero aura ) to beat the corrupted Najib's and his goons. But his aura soon dissipated unto thin air after series of successful failures and U-Turns. Just like how a "corrupted" politician found guilty to all his charges, you can see his 'loyal' followers still kissing his hands. Mind you - It can be a dangerous game questioning elements of aura. In order...

The peg lasted until 2005, and was widely credited with protecting Malaysia from the Asian economic crisis and the speculators.   2022 - Putin’s enforce ONLY ruble payments for his energy products. Namely oil and gas. He issued a decree on March 5, which allowed Russia to pay creditors from “unfriendly countries” using rubles instead of US dollars, Euros or Pound.   Then he linked ruble to gold at 5,000 rubles per gram. By pegging the currency to gold, strengthen the ruble with a gold standard. Meaning he has set a floor price for the ruble in terms of the U.S. dollar since gold trades in U.S. dollar.    Gold traded at about US$62 per gram, it translates to (5,000/62) about 80.6 rubles per dollar. By demanding that buyers of Russian ga...

  Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is a term, originating in the United States, that originally referred to awareness about racial prejudice and discrimination. It subsequently came to encompass an awareness of other issues of social inequality, for instance regarding gender and sexual orientation. honestly speaking - i dont give a crap if you are les or gay , an android or whatever you want to call yourself. unfortunately this woke culture literally stamped their ugly feet in everything - creeping unto the endless vault of pop cultures, rebooting it mindlessly just to milk more cash. Capitalism will hunt endless potential and proceeded at full speed and might in owning it. its interesting to observe that capitalism hide behind in every cultural movement. Just like ESG and Equality, it turned into a battle cry to every social activist reformer. Feminists forgot that we grew up with a steely determination of Sarah Connor and Ripley ( who happened to be written by a man ) - which carry heavi...
