the unacceptability of an image within an image rather than the unacceptability of the image itself. the art of critique and aesthetics of art today can be of this hidden order of beauty in dissensus. it escapes a casual glance & the required view of the touristic order. We counter disorderly mainstream media discourses, their presumptions of acceptability, consensual images of reality, global capital movements, Presidential delusions on the Middle East as truth etc, via anomalies, mea culpas
