Cindy Sherman, queen of the kinky camera

Article Abstract:

American postmodern photographer Cindy Sherman's retrospective exhibition at Sydney, Australia's Museum of Contemporary Art offers fun and diverse images of women in sexual and other controversial poses. The artist claims not to understand what postmodernism is even though critics call her an outstanding proponent of the art form. Her work is part-parody, and part serious statement on the role of art in society.

Brand hex: Anthony Macris despairs of the hegemony of the loco logo and manic marketing

Article Abstract:

Intrusive and synergistic marketing has been perfected by corporations to the point that many consumers hardly know they are being courted by loyalty-seeking brands. Some marketers use means that test the bounds of ethics, while some corporations exploit foreign labor. Consumers can fight the madness of marketing and corporate greed by refusing to support it.
