About Michael St.Mark

Conceptual / experimental multi-discipline artist, writer and photographer. Art influencer and founder of London Dada, recalling Dada's original aims and principles as envisaged by it's founder Hugo Ball. Eschews the often politically-motivated taboo on expressions of critical thought within art. Admiring Duchamp in going beyond the seemingly endless infatuation with the ' pretty picture' retinal and instead refusing to accept the standards and practices of an established corrupt art world and creatively stifling conventions that are still considered essential to attain fame and financial success: refusing to repeat himself or to develop one recognizable style to placate the commercial needs of the market.

Click to digitally enhance a digital composite Murdoch news puppet

The first in a new series exposing media frontmen and associated people who rely absolutely on digital means of  transmission of their weasel words and images to the gawping pizza-munching masses, in order to maintain “specialness” , high public profile and fame ( politicians, actors etc ) … by lifting the broadcasters’  propaganda mask of “real-ness” in analysis and scrutiny of its bare bones component parts ( by breaking down into pixelation ) that allows a glimpse into the “really real ” behind  today’s tawdry media – ie a phantasmagorical illusion of zeros and ones.

“When you know the false to BE false
you will auto-know Existence – the Real, the True”

– AdAdaISt
