So, we are to examine how an artist can mediate. Hu. Well as i reflect on the peice by randall packer, the way in which i saw his work as affecting change on the political process was in its ability to broaden and alter the scope of topic that are discussed. In his work he demonoizes the bush administration. He seeks to exspound about how we as a society have suffered a time of dispair and down turn under the bush administration. He has made several diffrent peices that show the anquish and turmoil of this time, his peice showing the death of america, for example, shows how he feels that we killed some of the things that made us profoundly american.
The artist can change how we veiw things by bringing into question the accepted norms of are society. Artists allow us to broaden and challenge the excepted values of are society and to ask questions that would normallly be perceived as boarish or inappropriate. When we make a peice that correlates Iraq to Imperialism or something else we ask fundamental questions which the veiwers of are peices can not help but be drawn into thinking about, at which point we have achieved are objective
