ŽIŽEK, SLAVOJ

Žižek: ideology functions not despite our knowing it is ideology but precisely because we know it is and act as if we did not. Limbo names itself an artwork-not-a-product and charges seven dollars anyway. The applicant knows the verification cannot be done and submits anyway. The Notice of Proprietary Dominion waives the defense of irony. The institution is its own ideology critique, performed in the open. The performing is the ideology. The performing is the artwork.
