Manifesto Anti-Kitsch
4 - Culture and Kitsch - The "Kitsch-Man" or "Massified-Man"
So we are seeing a "Kitschfication" mainly caused by the mass dissemination of art, in which the media aims to induce states of passivity , with their pictures and predefined and digestible structures, with an absence of ritual element to sustain a aesthetic and cultural feed, causing indifference, homogenized Kulture, uniformed audience and manipulated from childhood.
The "Kitsch-Man" experience Kitsch as true artistic work, by seeking a maximum excitement for a minimum of effort, and a critical sense undeveloped, mental passivity, spiritual laziness, indolence by sin, and it is typical product of modernity linked will cultural industrialization, commercialism and increased leisure
The "Kitsch-Man" is as a threatening degeneration of all forms of art, a style characterized by elements out of fashion or repeated outside the historical and social context, considered tasteful by established kulture, a new form of "bought happiness" Art
