Group 5
When we
talk about artists, activist and pranksters , we speak about their successes
and failures. We discuss possible things he or she may have or may of not
accomplished, we speak about what their contribution is to the world as well. Picking
a specific topic that intertwines with all of these things was pretty
complicated in all honesty until one day we came up with a good idea between to
popular indiduals. As a group we decided that Donald Trump and George Bush were
the perfect canidates for multiple reasons. Trump and Bush are two individuals
who receive a lot of good and bad attention for many things and being that
there are activist , artist and pranksters who use them as inspiration for many
different things. This presentation sums up artists who have taken people like
Trump and created murals, billboards, statues and even paintings and made it
something very popular and memorable in society . There are activists who oppose
Trump as well as oppose Bush and have done things to try and get them out of
office as well as try to stop them from doing terrible things. Now for
pranksters , many memes,videos, pranks and humourous gag gifts have been made
to bring light on the terrible things for the people. “Humor is a good way to make people pay
attention, who might otherwise tune you out. Absurdity can be an effective
means for changing the parameters of a
debate.” (The Interventionalist , 78)
