The performative aspect of life corresponds to the aesthetic aspect of information.
Infotainment as utilitarian art, not art for art's sake, but art to serve a purpose:
much in the same way that art of the middle ages was dominated by religion in the west, and political propaganda in various regimes.
Advertising is the fine art medium of the capitalist age! Ads are the commissions of the wealthy, the symbols of power and the cultural signifiers of a consumer age. They are our ritual and spirituality, the societal boding. Their very emptiness is our own.
