The oral eye is a metaphor for the dominance of global designer capitalism. It refers to the consumerism of a designer aesthetic by the 'I' of the neoliberalist subject, as well as the aural soundscapes that accompany the hegemony of the capturing attention through screen cultures. An attempt is made to articulate the historical emergence of such a synoptic machinic regime drawing on Badiou, Bellmer, Deleuze, Guattari, Lacan, Ranciere, Virilio, Ziarek, and Zizek to explore contemporary art (post-Situationism) and visual cultural education. jagodzinski develops the concept of an 'avant-garde without authority,' 'self-refleXion' and 'in(design)' to further the questions surrounding the posthuman as advanced by theorists such as Hansen, Stiegler and Ziarek's 'force' of art.
This is a very important book, worthy of serious study and deliberation. [...] This book offers cogent criticisms of a "Disneyworld aesthetic" and the consequences of "designer capitalism." [...] the most compelling arguments for the teaching of art can be found in this publication.' - Jerome J. Hausman, Media Review
