Synopsis:
Theodore Ushev continues to examine the links between the artist and modern political thought. While Tower Bawher took an ironic look at art co-habiting with Russian constructivist ideologies, Drux Flux features one-dimensional man as seen by Herbert Marcuse: in industrial societies, the actual consciousness of the individual is manipulated.
