Imagery surrounds us all day long. Although we try to filter it, we are still influenced by it. It finds its way into the depths of who we are and shapes our thoughts, beliefs, and desires. This course will explore the power of images from the points of view of censorship, political and commercial imagery, and art.

These images are really similar to some other artists works. the question, "is it art?" is a very important one. not only is it art, but what does it mean? these works of street art arent just vandalism. some call it that but isnt vandalism senseless destruction? I would have to argue that these images have meaning.
Check out adbusters, its a canadian magazine that publishes "counter-culture" articles and art. try to get past the obvious flaws in the off-putting delivery...
