Bits of that felt forced, and you've got some pretty big internal contradictions in there.
But you've got some bangers too. ": ideals do not fail only through betrayal or violence, but through neglect of the material world they must survive in." Is an exact quote I will be stealing the fuck out of.
And don't worry about having more feels about found art; analyzing deliberate art is bourgeoise simulacra-recursion-fetishism, only found images and field recordings made without conscious¹ intent are truly materialist and illustrative.
¹consciousness being essentially bourgeoise (watts, 2006)
