ABSTRACT
The Discipline Based Art Education marks it as an essential component in its vision quest to centralize art education—re-territorialize and place the chaos into a tight manageable package. Simple schemas of interpretation, like that of Feldman, are remarkable in their staying power, for they fit so well within the ideology of the Western conceptualization of art. Artistic productions are forms of cultural ideologies which represent competing representations of reality; embedded in those realities are lived forms of ethics and politics. The distinction between youth and adults, like the distinction between "children" and teenagers is fading as codes of fashion on and of the body begin to gender-blend, age-blend, and even color-blend. The "snake," in Blade Runner; at least required the gesture of a magnifying glass to detect its artificiality and the cyborgs required, not the "nose" but the linguistic skill of questioning of a Bladerunner for detection.
