Joseph W Goebbels
“Joseph Goebbels TM” is an art project in a form of media campaign that addresses the issues of contemporary media culture and mass communication. The basic premise of the project is that the truth became completely irrelevant in the present media situation. Ergo, there is no truth. Or to paraphrase the infamous Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels:” Thousand times repeated message becomes the truth”. Dr. Goebbels is considered to be the father of the modern media culture.
The project used the mass-media to transmit the message about the mass-media itself. It was a fully fledged campaign on the streets of Belgrade (billboards, postcards, posters, web site, TV/radio ads…). It raised a lot of attention and even earned it’s author an interview with the local authorities. Outside of Serbia it was widely praised though.
The complete documentation (photos of the campaign, campaign items, press clipping…) could be seen on the official web site of the project www.goebbels.info
“Joseph W Goebbels” the latest incarnation of the project addressing the outrageous George W Bush’s propaganda. And particularly the ABC’s documentary “Road to 9/11″ that used the infamous tragedy for the sole purpose of giving the excuse for the war in Iraq. Blood and death as a presidential campaign. Democratic organizations in America will use Joseph W Goebbels image for the campaign against blatant pro-Bush propaganda. The usual media logos are replaced with logos of ABC, Disney, FOX and other pro-Bush media.
More of the “W” news to come.
