The Conspiracy of Art (Semiotext (e)

“Will art have the right to a second, interminable existence, like the secret services that, as we know, haven’t had any secrets to steal or exchange for some time but who still continue to flourish in the utter superstition of their usefulness, perpetuating their own myth?”

—      Jean Baudrillard, The Conspiracy of Art (Semiotext(e), Ames Hodges translation, 2005, p. 29).
