"Consumer society reduces art to a range of products. The function of the artistic and cultural spectacle is to turn the wolves of spontaneity into the sheepdogs of knowledge and beauty.
The poetry of deeds, formerly treated as marginal, now stands at the center of everyone's concerns. True poetry resides in action–it consecrates riots, embraces rebellions and animates all great revolutionary carnivals.
Poetic experience is now at a premium. The work of art of the future will be the construction of a poetic life."
–Raoul Vaneigem
