New Media in Art, 135-145

I think this is an interesting section because of the section about making political statements. I think that using art to bring awareness to important issues that may not be taken seriously or are potentially covered up is incredibly important. In some cases, this can be dangerous, but regardless I think artists have a specific, unique ability to open conversations on topics that are otherwise taboo. One might even say that to a certain extent, artists have a duty to showcase political statements that they feel passionate about. If they can reflect their own opinions in their work, why not do it? Maybe it's not for everyone, but I think art is a great tool for activism and push towards social and political change.
